New Collection coming from Naughton Yarns 🍂

Exciting news! Naughton Yarns is launching the new Autumn Harvest Collection this Saturday. Stop by Sweet Yarns at 11 AM to see the fall-inspired colourways on fi*****ng and DK weight yarns. If a must-have colourway sells out, you need extra for a larger project, or you would like bulky or mohair—Valerie can take Reservation Requests.

Just a heads up: Valerie and I are collaborating on a Christmas Advent this year. We’re still working out the details, so there’s nothing more to share yet, but I wanted to mention it now so you can plan ahead. 😉 It will include yarn, bling, and a previously unpublished pattern of mine, which will be the feature of our New Year Knit-A-Long. If the Advent is outside your budget, we’ll also have options so you can still take part in the New Year KAL.

See you Saturday!

Welcome to August! 🧶 It’s Toque Off month at Sweet Yarns!

Anyone stay up until after midnight so they could cast on? ⏰

Feel free to share progress pictures on any of the hats you’re working on throughout the month. I’ll make sure to look for your completed entries and add them into our counts and draws.

Have fun!

Ending WIP for Mitten Mania 🧶

Didn’t quite get that last pair done? Today is the day to post it in the Sweet Yarnies group so it counts as an entry.

One WIP entry per participant. WIP needs to be more than half done (one mitten completed, second one started; past gussets on a pair).

Our Mitten Mania draw will be done on Thursday’s Knots & Thoughts. There is a prize to be won. 🧶 🎁

Mitten Mania ends today! 🧶

All good things must come to an end. 🧶 It’s the last day of July which means it’s also the last day of Mitten Mania.

Make sure to post your finished mittens in the Sweet Yarnies group by midnight tonight.

Didn’t get your last pair finished? Ending WIP day is tomorrow. Watch for the post.

Get those needles clicking! 🧶 🧶

Toque Off 🧶

It's time!! July is almost over which means our fun hat competition is about to begin.

Today and tomorrow, take some time to share your hat WIP in our Sweet Yarnies group.

Remember to post:
🧶 the group you are in
🧶 the pattern you are using
🧶 the yarn you are using

One WIP entry per participant. WIP needs to be less than half done (check the schematic or measurements in your pattern).

If you have any questions, you can check out all the Toque Off info on the website or send me a message.

I can't wait to see how many hats we can get made.

Are you ready to Brioche? No, not the bun, the knitting technique. 😉

I’m teaching a two-colour brioche-in-the-round class on Wednesday afternoons from 3 to 4. Whether you’re trying brioche for the first time or want help with a more advanced project, this class is for you. We start next week, and there’s still time to sign up. If another day or time works better, I’m happy to make arrangements.

I had a great time knitting the new hat sample in Superwash Merino Worsted and Alpaca Mist over the weekend. If you haven’t tried these yarns yet, this is a great chance. Two skeins of Merino and one skein of Alpaca will make the set. The hat pattern is also being updated so it can be knit without the design, and I’m planning to knit the cowl again with the class.

Contact the store to register or sign up online. Can’t wait to do this with you!

Refresh your fall wardrobe with a handmade sweater made to fit you. 🍂

Our Sweater Make-A-Long and Sweater School are making a comeback. From September to November, we’ll be working together on sweaters, tops, vests, and more—projects that are easier (and more fun) to tackle as a group. Join our Make-A-Long or Sweater School course and work at your own pace while enjoying the community.

🧶 Sweater Make-A-Long – Starting Tuesday, September 1st and running until Monday, November 30th, join in our Sweater MAL. Join your Sweet Yarnies friends and enjoy the creation of a new slow-fashion item for your wardrobe. WIPs (works in progress) are welcome.

🧶 Sweater School – If you haven’t made a sweater or top before, now is your chance to get guidance as you work through one. We’ll be getting together on Saturday mornings to work on our tops and sweaters together. I’ll be sharing tips and tricks and helping you work through the whole process of making your own garment piece. Hit the Sweater School link in the bio (Instagram) or the About section (Facebook) to find all the info and sign up for this new class.

🚨 Special discount until midnight on Saturday, August 1st. Use the code Sweaters26 to get $25 off the Sweater School price online or just stop in before closing to get the discount as well.

Make sure to join our Sweet Yarnies group on Facebook and share your progress throughout the Fall. We love to see what others are making and the progress you’re making.

If you need help picking a pattern, size, yarn, etc., I’m happy to help any time. Please stop by as soon as possible so we can get you the perfect colourways and yarns.

See you soon!
