Explore Our Most Popular Yarn's 75 Stunning Colors!

Cast on with Linen Quill and you’ll see why it’s our most popular yarn of all time. A fingering-weight mix of fine highland wool, alpaca, and linen, it pairs the springiness and durability of wool with alpaca’s long-fiber softness, while the linen gives the yarn its rustic elegance and remarkable depth of color. With 75 nature-inspired shades to explore, Linen Quill offers a whole garden of possibility.

Note Is Full Of Depth, Nuance, And Beauty!

A mix of the softest extra fine merino in the world and sumptuous baby alpaca, you’ll be thrilled by the way Note’s characteristic multi-ply spin gives every stitch exceptional clarity and depth. This DK-weight yarn is toasty warm and next-to-skin soft with a lush drape… You simply have to feel it to believe it!

A Hat That Checks All The Boxes!

Quick and easy to knit, wonderfully soft, and toasty warm… Cast on for our free Giving Hat pattern with our beautiful, bountiful Andean highland wool Till, a truly generous yarn for an equally generous hat. With sizes for babies all the way up and an undeniable universal appeal, the Giving Hat is a pattern you’ll want to knit again and again—“for you, and you, and you!”

A Bloom Of Pure Delight

Our free Florette Cowl pattern is the kind of playful and charming knit that makes your heart feel light—a wonderfully sweet gift for kiddos and grownups alike. Cast on with Yonder, our heathered alpaca and Andean highland wool worsted-weight yarn with a soft hand and heartwarming beauty that will make you fall in love with every stitch!

Warm Wishes, Knit With Love

Pick up a skein of exquisite 100% cashmere Nigh DK to knit our free Warm Wishes Hot Water Bottle Cover pattern, a one-skein wonder and the kind of where-has-this-been-all-my-life cozy comfort everyone will fall for. You have nearly two dozen gorgeous colors to choose from—pair your choice with our 2-quart Hot Water Bottle for a heartfelt gift for someone you love (yourself included)!

Wander Nature's Path!

Our beautiful free Fox Trail Hat + Mittens pattern is carved with meandering cables like the tracks of forest animals across untouched snow. Cast on with Wild Donegal, hearty and robust chunky-weight Irish tweed yarn full of untamed spirit, ready to weather whatever trails you may roam. Both patterns come in tons of sizes, so everyone can get in on the adventure!

Knit A Graceful Tweed Wrap

A bracing, briny wind off the North Atlantic, cool rain in the air, soft heath beneath your boots… Transport yourself to the moors of Ireland with our free Heather Wrap pattern and our Wild Donegal yarn, a beautifully rustic chunky-weight tweed made by one of County Donegal’s last traditional mills. Enjoy the quiet cadence of linen stitch and savor the beauty of the speckled tweed yarn!

Our Daily Scarf For Everyday Elegance

When you think “scarf,” you might think something like our Daily Scarf. A nice, wide swath of stockinette with a bit of 1x1 ribbing on the ends, it is quintessential and featherlight, breathable and warm. Knit in our fingering- to sport-weight recycled cashmere yarn, Echo Cashmere, this scarf will make you feel so elegant... Every day!

Pure Cashmere For A Sumptuous Knit

Knit in sumptuous Nigh Aran cashmere, our free Vessel Cowl pattern is a serene, sculptural form that holds abundant warmth and beauty. Slightly tapered panels at the front and back extend just far enough down the chest for extra warmth, with ribbed contours that flow as if shaped by a potter’s hand. Pick from Nigh Aran's classic, timeless palette... Just two skeins and a few hours will bring it to life!

Discover The Joy Of Two-Color Brioche!

Our free Two-Color Brioche Hat pattern puts the magic of rib-like brioche stitch on display, with its plush depth, cozy insulation, and wonderfully graphic, two-sided fabric. It's easier to knit than you might think... In fact, many knitters find two-color brioche even easier than one-color! The cushiony loft of Cashmere Merino Bloom is just right for this warm, dimensional hat.

A New Yarn + Style For Our Top-Down Turtleneck!

Easygoing in spirit yet thoughtful in every detail, our Top-Down Turtleneck Cardigan is an all-time classic. We’ve updated this beloved pattern for our exceptionally soft new recycled wool yarn, Echo Wool, and while we were at it, we added a charming henley option—perfect for layering! Echo Wool lends the perfect softness, substance, and beauty to this wonderful knit.

An Easy Free Pattern With A Playful Touch!

With tips that look as if they’ve been dipped in a pail of paint, our Color Tip Mittens are a fun pattern for exploring the lively tweeds of our new Echo Wool yarn. Just two balls of this affordable, exceptionally soft recycled wool yarn are enough to make two opposite-color pairs in any size, from kids through adults!

Knit Our Dreamy Cumulus Mittens

Knit in our quick-knitting Pouf yarn, our Cumulus Mittens are irresistibly soft, like dipping your hands into a puffy cloud and drawing them out wrapped in warm, downy fleece. You just need a ball or two of alpaca-wool Pouf to knit this pattern in any size, for everyone from toddlers to grown-ups. This super bulky yarn has a cushion of air at the center that makes it uniquely insulating… Perfect for toasty warm mittens!

Knit Our Super Popular Quaking Aspen Wrap

Our free Quaking Aspen Wrap pattern will fill your spirit with all the sublime beauty of golden leaves under autumn skies, as you explore the breathtaking colors of Linen Quill Minis. The serene 20-Color Beach Walk Linen Quill Minis palette is bursting with nature’s bounty, and this effortless design gives each beautiful color its time in the sun!

An Easy No-Sew, No-Ends Blanket!

Our free Charm Blanket pattern is quicker to knit than you may think, using Linen Quill doubled with no seams to sew or ends to weave in when you're done. Pick up our 40-Color Linen Quill Minis Bundle and embrace a can't-wait-what's-next random color order... This is going to be the most knitting fun you’ve ever had!

Our Fabulous Block Party Socks

Our Block Party Socks bring the party right down to your toes! Knit with our new Daily Wool Sport, a very soft and hardworking superwash wool yarn made to be worn on repeat, these fun color-block socks are an open invitation to play. Choose a pair of colors from a palette of heathered shades and let them mix and mingle in this new free sock pattern!

Knit A Darling Pair Of Baby Overalls!

Super easy to knit, our Storybook Overalls pattern has the vintage charm of a classic picture book. And our new Daily Wool Sport is the ideal yarn for a day in the life of a baby, soft and light in the hand, yet hardworking and helpfully machine washable. Pick from 24 artfully heathered colors, perfectly suited to babies and toddlers and the stories they’re just beginning to live!

1,000 Grams Of 100% Merino Wool

Soft, sturdy, and wonderfully sproing-y, Knitting Yarn DK On A Cone is a quintessential classic on a big cone! Its cushiony 4-ply spin gives you crisp stitch definition and marvelously articulated textures, while 100% New Zealand merino wool makes this light worsted/DK-weight yarn a classic. Select from a huge palette of beautifully heathered colors and cast on... One cone makes a blanket!
