A little information on the materials we are using
YARN is a 100% wool chunky weight yarn called Puffin from Quince & Co. They are company from Maine who source, dye, and spin their wool in the US. If you catch the knitting bug and would like to make the scarf instead of cowl, you can purchase 2 additional skeins of yarn in whatever color you like here. Try your hand at color-blocking, or keep it all the same color—it’s your scarf!
NEEDLES are made from strong birchwood by Lykke Crafts. They are handcrafted in Nepal by skilled local craftspeople. Lykke means happiness in Norwegian and we are happy to support a company that is actively investing in their workers’ community with benefit programs.
NOTIONS like tapestry needles and stitch markers are sourced from Cocoknits in California. They produce a line of beautiful and thoughtful accessories for your knitting that help you make, fix, and care for your knitwear.
DELICATE WASH by Eucalan is our go-to for wool, silk, and anything in your home and wardrobe that needs TLC. It is low-sudsing and thus, no rinse! Just soak, gently agitate, and dry. No rinsing also means more eco-friendly as we use less water. It’s available on Amazon. For laundry tips, visit this link.
