We have some fun stuff planned in the upcoming weeks by way of promotion for the new yarn and collection, so stay tuned for that. In the mean time, check out the patterns on Ravelry, and ask for the Luma at your favorite LYS!
When will the yarn be available online on your site? It currently isn’t and I’m loving this pattern collection.
Thanks! We don’t sell current yarns off of our website, but Luma has been shipping all week to our many wonderful retailers all over N. America. You can ask for it at your LYS, or do an online search and you should be able to find it near you. The pattern collection is available in hard copy form from our stockists, or as individual PDF downloads from our site here: kelburnewoolens.com/lumacollection.
gull island is so perfect!
Thanks! <3
Can we get some men’s patterns? Some of us men knit too and would like to make garments for ourselves in the luxurious fibers. Thanks for thinking of us!
Yes, we know and love our male knitters! While the Luma Collection is decidedly a very "feminine" collection, the Arranmore Collection we just released was designed to be unisex, and many of the garments work for both males and females.
