Swatching: Isadora x St. Brendan Mashup

By Kate Gagnon Osborn on September 27, 2017October 8, 2020

L / St. Brendan by Courtney Kelley (alternate colorway). R / Isadora Lopapeysa My closet is calling out for a pullover in The Fibre Co. Arranmore. I originally thought about working up a Finn Valley, but I already have a cabled sweater out of a Donegal yarn I bought while on our trip to Ireland…

Knitter Projects: Karen’s Custom St. Brendan

By Linette Kielinski on March 8, 2017October 8, 2020

Since I started working at Kelbourne Woolens, I’ve been introduced to so many talented knitters and designers. Kate pointed me in the direction of friend and blogger Karen Templer of Fringe Association, and I am now a huge fan! Today I am excited to share her take on Courtney’s St. Brendan sweater in the scrumptious Arranmore. …

Knitter Projects: Finn Valley

By Kate Gagnon Osborn on January 23, 2017October 8, 2020

Although we love all the bright and beautiful colors, black is a great wardrobe staple. When I saw this Finn Valley I was instantly jealous!  Knit in the Fibre Co. Arranmore in colorway Malin Head, the flecks of color add beautiful depth and texture, we’re in love! Great job Sara, and thanks for sharing!

Killybegs KAL: Progress Report

By Meghan Kelly on January 19, 2017October 8, 2020

Linette and I are about 75% of the way done with our Killybegs cardigans!  I love how quickly Arranmore knits up. It practically knits itself! True, we started this KAL back in early December but between holidays, family obligations, teaching, and photography gigs, we don’t have that much free time to just relax and knit. I’m…

Killybegs KAL: What I’ve learned

By Linette Kielinski on January 5, 2017October 8, 2020

I’ve considered myself a decent knitter for the last 8 years until I started this fun mini-KAL, and started to work among master knitters such as the Kelbourne ladies: Courtney and Kate.  I am constantly learning from this amazing crew and thought I would share a few things I’ve learned during this Killybegs experience.  Knit…

Mini-KAL with Meghan and Linette

By Meghan Kelly on December 28, 2016October 8, 2020

Here at the KW office, Linette and I are doing our own mini-KAL of my cardigan from The Arranmore Collection, Killybegs. Neither of us are afraid to rock bold color, so we decided to do a little mix and match of the brightest Arranmore colors. I chose Orla (orange) and she chose Slieve Sunset (fuchsia) for the main…

Color Stories: Wild Irish November

By Meghan Kelly on November 23, 2016July 5, 2022

Blustery winds, waves crashing on the coastline, damp moss covered stones, and sheep clustered on jagged hills lined with babbling brooks; this is what we experienced on the western coast of Ireland last winter when we traveled to the mill to design The Fibre Co. Arranmore.  As we have just received a large shipment of Arranmore…

Making Swatching Fun!

By Courtney Kelley on November 17, 2016October 8, 2020

…Or at least making swatching productive! It’s no surprise to our readers that we are fans of swatching. At this point, it really goes without saying. One of my tried and true methods of swatching, and one that doesn’t feel like a chore, is to knit a hat instead of a swatch. I do a…

The Arranmore Collection: Alternate Colorways

By Kate Gagnon Osborn on August 19, 2016June 30, 2022

The original samples in the 9 piece Arranmore Collection were designed in a classic and somewhat subtle color palette. When putting together a second set of samples for our Trunk Shows, we dove deep into the full palette of 18 colors, and worked up the pieces in alternate combinations to showcase what some of the…

The Arranmore Collection: Modern Classics

By Kate Gagnon Osborn on August 18, 2016June 30, 2022

The last three garments in our  9 piece collection utilize all of the exceptional qualities of The Fibre Co. Arranmore combined with classic techniques we know and love. Each sweater requires a little more in the way of effort – both colorwork and cables are used to great effect – but the end result of any…
