Each year we reach February and collectively grumble at the thought of Valentines Day. But at our core we are deeply in love with love. I did after all just get married after being together for over 12 years. But throughout those years I have come to realize that there are so many types of love relationships in my life. Parental, self, love you can feel toward a stranger, and friend love. I hope everyone's life is full of all them, but the love of a friend is one of my personal favorites. Friends can uniquely talk you through it, laugh at the littlest things, and most importantly share in your passions. I have met many friends through knitting and because of knitting and I am extremely grateful for those people.
So in celebration of our/my love of love we have put together a lovely collection of yarn, kits, tools, and accessories. Gift your friend! Gift yourself! All types of love welcome.

This collection we partnered with Tumalo Fiber to curate a group of delicious rosy and fleshy tones which will absolutely create the most beautiful little accessories. We met Tumalo at Sacred Sheep 2 years ago and have been in love ever since with their color sensibility. The above image is their Suri Floof Lace base. We are offering these 4 glorious tones along with some curated sock kits. The sock kits, below, come with 2 full sized skeins of their SW merino finger weight base and one mini perfect for heels and toes.

These kits also come with a choice of sock pattern available at check out.
We also worked with Fiber and Flame to create a small selection of DEGEN-y colored glass knitting tools including stitch markers and cable needles. Of course we curated some fire-y red ones but also yellows, lilacs, and greens.

Valentines Day wouldnt be complete without some heart scissors so we have those too.

I hope you enjoy our small curation of delicious little giftables for the season of love. The collection goes live February 5th at 10am ET.
