We have a limited amount of extra Shropshire wool yarn from our January box for the Beyond Merino Yarn Club, which we're making available to everyone. This yarn was sourced from The Ponderosa in Oyama, BC, a mixed farm with an apple orchard and sweetcorn as well as the sheep. #IndieDyedYarn 🧶

I've been very impressed by all the stunning projects shared for #ShowMeYourKnits lace week! I don't have any lace on the needles right now, but here's one of our laciest shawl patterns. This is the Georgian Bay Shawl, designed by Nancy Lekx, knit in our Messa di Voce yarn. #knitsky #knitting 🧶

Our thrummed mitten kits are back in stock! I've just dyed up the last of our lovely soft Ontario-grown Norbouillet roving, so this is our last restock of these kits until we get another batch of wool back from the mill in late summer or fall. #IndieDyer #HandDyedYarn #CanadianWool #Knitting 🧶

After being used for 'emergency steering' on a few too many sled runs over the holidays my Saltwater mitts were a little worse for wear... I recently took the time to patch them up, and was very glad to have them in good shape again for all the shoveling this week! #mending #knitting #knitsky 🧶

Another #ShowMeYourKnits for #WIP week: Elizabeth's making hats for her kids with this Shropshire wool from our first Beyond Merino yarn box from 2025. It's the fluffiest, squishiest yarn you can imagine! #KnitSky #Knit 🧶

One of my current WIPs for this week's #ShowMeYourKnits This is the second 'wing' of the Paper Daisy Wings of Wonder wrap. The yarn is a very luxurious merino/cashmere/silk blend, and I'm trying to just relax and enjoy the making process without any pressure or deadlines. #knitsky #knitting 🧶

We're halfway through Finish it February, and despite coming down with something nasty this week (probably flu) I've managed to get one project completed! I finished knitting this over a year ago, and it was just waiting to be blocked, almost all the ends were woven in even. #knitting #knitsky 🧶

Something to share with friends who haven't made to jump over here yet! We've really been enjoying making new connections here (and I particularly love the chronological timeline).

It's "Love" week for #ShowMeYourKnits, and we've realized we actually have quite a few heart-themed patterns to share! First up: the String of Hearts socks is one of our first ever sock patterns, designed by Elizabeth way back in 2008. #knitting #knitsky 🧶

A good reminder that if you're wearing natural fibres your clothes are an agricultural product. Happy Canadian Ag day to all our farmer friends, thank you for all your amazing work!
