PROJECT Brushed Alpaca Nuvem

Nuvem I just finished a third Nuvem and it was a total win! It’s light and airy as a cloud and cozy as hell. It’ll be an awesome spring/fall wrap, I just want to cocoon in it. I used Drops Brushed Alpaca and Silk and 4.5mm/US7 needles, so it also didn’t take a super long […]

PROJECT Nuvem a la Alpaca & Silk

    Nuvem We just received a shipment of a Drops Brushed Alpaca and Silk and I was thinking “Wouldn’t it be divine to make a big, light, cozy wrap with it?!” Well, great minds think alike, because at least 50 other people already came up with the same brilliant idea and used if for one […]

FINISHED Nuvem

    Nuvem We just finished our store sample Nuvem this weekend and I couldn’t he happier with it! It’s got to be the loveliest, most wearable wrap I’ve ever come across (actually, I have one just like it that I bought in Paris a million years ago, a real wardrobe staple, but I think that […]

NEW Malabrigo Mechita

Malabrigo Mechita This one is a winner, right out of the gate. It’s got sex appeal, customers were ooooing and awwwwing all over it as I was unpacking and merchandising the yarn, taking it off the shelf as fast as I put it on. We’re working on a Nuvem wrap. Mechita is a super soft & […]
