✨💥 New pattern alert! 💥✨⠀ Our dear friend Karen Templer (@karentempler) just released her Anna Vest pattern for individual download, and the new images and sample feature our very own Germantown!⠀ ⠀ Originally published in the gorgeous @toltyarnandwool book Farm to Needle, Karen has updated and made a few edits to the pattern in order to prepare it for individual release. Check it out via her blog or search for Anna Vest on Ravelry and ask for Germantown at your favorite LYS!⠀ ⠀ (You can also see the latest release from @fringeassociation here, the ever-popular #fringefieldbag in the newest color, waxed plum - a perfect match to the vest in Rhododendron!) ⠀ ⠀ #annavest #KWGermantown ⠀ ⠀ 📷: @hmmessinger
The fall issue of Knit.Wear includes a stunning article by Leslie Petrovski on the Faroe Islands and Navia Yarn, one of the new companies we are delighted to be distributing here in N. America. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’ll be hosting a KAL for this awesome sweater beginning on November 16th. Stay tuned to our feed for more details, including where to download the pattern and how to find a Navia stockist near you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #kelbournewoolens #kwnaviakal #naviafaroeislands #naviatradition #faroesewool #wool #strandedknitting #kal #knitalong
We took the girls apple picking this afternoon, and it was cool enough for Lucy to wear the sweater my grandmother knit for my eldest cousin over 45 years ago. She is the 14th grand and great-grandchild to wear it, and the last of her generation until the next (great great!) grandchild is born. 💕🍎🍁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ She's also wearing a hat I made her last winter in Andorra - I don't think I ever blogged or posed about it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Kwandorra #kelbourneathome #soleburyorchards #lucywinslow
With a history that extended back to the 17th Century, the industrial revolution encouraged rapid growth of textile and yarn mills throughout Philadelphia. Firms like Wm. H. Horstmanns, James Lees & Sons, and S.B. & B.W. Fleisher took the production of Germantown yarns into the industrial age. These companies created household knitting yarn and pattern brands like Columbia Yarns, Minerva Yarns, and Fleisher’s Yarns, respectively. ⠀ ⠀ Read more about the long history of textile manufacturing in Philadelphia - including the origins of Germantown Yarns - today on the blog!⠀ ⠀ #KWGermantown #philadelphiahistory #fleisheryarns #kelbournewoolens #germantownphilly #textilemills
