Some love from Cologne, Germany 🇩🇪

@mrsmatthes.knits shares a glimpse of what’s on her needles - a vibrant pair of ultra-soft socks using our Proper Sock yarn in Tina Turner (swipe for an up close look).

She’s used one of our solid colour Proper Sock minis for contrast colour cuffs, and here’s hoping the heels and toes will pop with contrast too.

Minis are available in all our solid colours so you can easily raise your sock knitting game!

Luscious, lightweight and seriously luxurious. It’s tough to accurately describe the sensation that’s Cowgirlblues’ Kidsilk…if you know, you know 😉

It’s the ultimate blend of kid mohair and silk. And as a yarn it’s spectacular. But colour choices are important too. Our colour palette might make that difficult, but you can’t really go wrong.

Beautiful blues inspired by cloudless skies and sparkling ocean views - breathtaking Cape Town in all her glory! 🌊💙

Merino DK is a soft, double knitting weight 100% Merino superwash yarn that knits up with beautiful stitch definition. It’s perfect for sweaters, great for beanies, and really beautiful for shawls too.

Pictured here is our Cowgirlblues Merino DK base, but remember, these captivating colours are available across all our bases! ✨

Kidsilk 👉a blend of mohair and silk fibers known for its soft, lightweight feel. If you’re looking to create an airy piece with a beautiful drape, add this to your shopping list. It combines really well with other yarns also.

Merino Twist 👉made from 100% merino wool characterised by its twisted ply structure, adding strength and durability. It’s softness, warmth, and versatility make it a great choice for a wide variety projects.

Merino Lace Single 👉a single-ply yarn, 100% merino wool that’s exceptionally soft and fine. This is the perfect choice for delicate lace projects and lightweight shawls that showcase intricate lace patterns.

It’s also great to hold with another yarn for a subtle bit of additional colour.
