Designer Spotlight: Fresh T-Shirt by Edna Hart
Edna Hart’s design process often starts with yarn and color. From there she looks for an easy and memorable pattern stitch. She prefers to keep her patterns basic, so the yarn can really shine. The Fresh T-Shirt is a great example of Edna’s design style. Knit in our new spring yarn, Berroco Linus, the pattern… Continue reading Designer Spotlight: Fresh T-Shirt by Edna Hart

A Story of “Good Yarma”
During our recent trip to TNNA, I got to spend some quality time with our new Southern California sales rep, Mona Gutierrez. Mona is pretty much one of the coolest people I've ever met.

Designer Spotlight: Happenstance by Shelly Sheehan
Co-owner of The Yarnery in St. Paul, MN, Shelly Sheehan loves being surrounded by different colors of yarn. It’s this “eye candy” that gets her through the long, gray winters. Interestingly, it was construction – more than color – that inspired Shelly’s free pattern, Happenstance. The textured scarf features alternating sections of garter stitch, stockinette… Continue reading Designer Spotlight: Happenstance by Shelly Sheehan
