News From The Yarn Garden!



Head Gardener's Log, August 31, 2020


  Make It Monday!

Did you know there are over 50,000 projects that use Noro Silk Garden on Ravelry? That seems like an amazing number, but when I think about how many projects I’ve created over the years with it, I get it! If you haven’t used it before, it’s a delightful, luxurious blend of silk, mohair, and wool that comes in self-striping colorways. The different fibers in the yarn take the dye differently, resulting in a dimensional, somewhat tweedy fabric. The mohair makes a slight halo and gives it a softer hand, while the silk makes it glow.

We just received the six gorgeous new colors for fall 2020, seen in the picture below. There is a sweater quantity of each color available, in addition to some bestsellers we already have in stock here at the Garden. Click on the image to see more details and to purchase Silk Garden for your next project (or just to enhance your stash… it makes a lovely pet skein).

 What's on my Needles

The knitting on my Spark Cardi has been FLYING! It’s so fun to watch the pattern develop in my hands and I am loving the colors I picked. We’ve been having some great conversations in our KAL group Zoom meetings and helping each other reach our knitting goals. The accountability of a group project like this helps keep my attention span focused on each project, though I have had to divert attention elsewhere due to Seed Club knitting. In the corner you can see my current adventure sock, a little shortie pattern called the Spring Fling. I’m using our Regia Cotton Color in Apple from the Tutti Frutti collection. It’s a great option for non-wool socks… I’m planning to wear them this fall in my cute fall booties.
