A sweater, knit by Kate out of Acadia in Wild Onion. The garter rib is addicting. And the resultant fabric is beautifully soft and squishy.

Winter is coming!⠀ ⠀ #kwgiveaway #kelbournewoolens #faroeknit #navia #bohémechristmashat #winteriscoming #kidsknits #knittinggiveaway #knittersofinstagram #holidayknits ⠀ 📸: @faroeknit⠀
Early in 2018 I caught the bug and I had to #bangoutacarbeth. I was in my second trimester when the Carbeth Pullover was released, so I thought I would wait to knit it in the winter. But when the cardigan version followed a month later I knew it would be the perfect sweater to carry me in through the rest of my pregnancy and during the fall while I was nursing and still waiting to see how a third pregnancy would change my body. ⠀ ⠀ My Carbeth Cardigan by Kate Davies served me well while we were traveling in the Faroe Islands in March, and again last month while my partner and I traveled in Donegal. It is hands-down my favorite sweater of 2018. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I knit my Carbeth Cardigan using our Andorra yarn held doubled, and now that I'm 6 months post-partum I am ready to cast on that pullover now, as soon as the holiday knitting frenzy is over. ⠀ ⠀ #bangoutacarbeth #carbethcardigan #kwandorra #andorrayarn #kelbournewoolens #katedaviesdesigns #pregnancyknitting #postpartumbody #donegal #visitdonegal #knittersofinstagram #travelknitting
Are you even ready for this upcoming @cakeandvikings + @espacetricot collaboration? ⠀ WE. CAN. NOT. WAIT. ⠀ ⠀ Designer Dianna Walla has partnered with Montreal yarn shop, Espace Tricot, to create the Chalet Collection: Four designs for approachable color work accessories featuring our very own Scout yarn, as well as the lovely @raumagarn. Espace Tricot will be posting a sneak peek of a new design from the collection each day this week, leading up to launch day - Friday December 7th. ⠀ ⠀ "Today's Chalet Collection reveal is the LE MASSIF SCARF 💛. Knit in the round, again with simple but striking geometric colourwork motifs, Le Massif is bold, stylish, and toasty warm. It uses @kelbournewoolens Scout which creates a lovely, woolly fabric perfectly suited for next to skin wear. Pattern and kits coming Friday!" ⠀ ⠀ #lemassifscarf #chaletcollection #diannawalla #kelbournewoolens #knittersofinstagram #knitting #knitscarf #espacetricot #lys ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: @espacetricot
Not to brag, but... ⠀ Germantown is hovering on @ravelry at the No. 2 position on the New Yarns chart! Can we push this baby to No. 1? ⠀ ⠀ 🏆 YES WE CAN! 🏆⠀ Who knew that two "scrubby 20-somethings" (oh, yes, that's a real quote) could start a company in a recession, still be going strong ten years later, and make a 100% North American wool made in the USA? We did. BAM! 🔥🔥🔥⠀ ⠀ From our best pals at Fancy Tiger: ⠀ "An icon of American craft, Germantown was developed in Philadelphia in the early 1800s. A labor of love and research over many years, our friends at Kelbourne Woolens worked hard to reproduce this 100% U.S. sourced and manufactured yarn and we are so excited that it is back on the market after so long!⠀⠀ ⠀ The name Germantown is synonymous with a good quality worsted yarn and that great generation lives on through Kelbourne!"⠀ ⠀ #ravelry #KWGermantown #philadelphiatextiles #kelbournewoolens #textilehistory #madeinamerica #yarn #historicalcrafts #fancytigercrafts #yarnaddict #germantown ⠀ ⠀ 📷: @fancytigercrafts
