The lovely and talented local designer Jacquline Cieslak has a great new design coming out soon called CANYON. We are celebrating with them by offering their supporters a discount on yarn. We are not offering the pattern; it is available through Jacqui.
CANYON is an oversized tank/vest with a fitted crew neck and deep armholes. It features seamless top-down construction, with an applied i-cord for the neck and optional bust darts added at the hem (for a more invisible, gender-neutral look).
We had the joy of participating vicariously in the test knit as they met in-person here in the shop. They definitely had fun!
The pictures below show the test knits. The brown version is is the Hazelnut color. The orange and olive versions are made with in the Copper and Olive colors. The peach is in the Peach Pop colorway. The variegated green yarn is Maps Yarn Spring Blend which we don't carry. The chartreuse yarn is .
We have plenty of other yarns that will work well for Canyon:
a delicious merino from one of our favorite yarn companies
a blend of 70% cotton and 30% merino
a merino, alpaca, nylon blend from a wonderful and talented indie dyer
a cotton, silk, linen, alpaca blend that is simultaneously soft, fluffy, and yet cool
an all Spanish yarn made from Spanish Merino, Spanish Manchega wool (the sheep that give us the yummy Machego cheese!), and Andalusian cotton
we are in love with their gorgeous heathered colors
very very soft merino from Tasmania. At 17 microns it is almost as soft as merino can get and firmly in the cashmere softness range (13- 19 microns)
a delightful blend of merino, baby llama, silk, and linen
easily the yummiest corriedale wool we have ever experienced
a rustic wool that blooms and softens quite nicely
a wonderful (and budget friendly) wool yarn
If you are local, feel free to come squeeze them in person; your discount will still work.
