July's COTM, "Swim Trunks", captures the joyful chaos of a rack full of bright summer board shorts. Electric lime, sun-bleached aqua, coral peach, and hot pink tumble together in bold stripes and playful flashes, while scattered charcoal speckles reveal the unmistakable silhouette of Sasquatch catching the perfect wave.

This colorway is equal parts retro beach vacation and Pacific Northwest legend. It knits up into a lively fabric where pops of tropical color dance between unexpected dark accents, creating a fabric that's as fun to stitch as it is to wear.

Whether you're casting on socks for a beach trip, a lightweight shawl for cool evenings by the lake, or a summer tee bursting with personality, Swim Trunks brings sunshine, surf, and just a hint of cryptid magic to every stitch.

Warning: Wearing these Swim Trunks may increase sightings of Bigfoot... especially near the water's edge. 🌊🦶

June’s Color of the Month, Soul-stice, drifts between worlds like twilight over a hidden riverbank. Dyed with the rich jewel tones of Soul and Amethyst, this colorway pulses with deep violet shadows, electric teal flashes, and glimmers of midnight blue that seem to shift with every stitch. There’s something a little celestial about it. Like moonlight caught in polished stones. Like a summer evening that refuses to end. ✨

You know that first really nice day at the end of winter, when the sun comes out and it's warm, and you feel hopeful again?

We're carrying on our tradition of creating a colorway for the Olympic Games and I was THRILLED when I saw the palette for the 2026 Winter Games, held in Italy this year. All of my favorite colors got to come out and play... Soul, Navy, Yarn Garden Green and a little pop of Chartreuse!

I settled on the name "Competitive Soul" as a nod to my favorite color and the spirit of the athletes that participate in the Games. Preorder your yarn by January 31st to get your yarn in time for the Opening Ceremonies on February 6th!

For me, February is the hardest month to get through in Michigan. Don't get me wrong, I love winter and snow and snuggling inside, but February feels like it drags on and on. I always dream of planning a vacation somewhere tropical, to soak up some light and color and sunshine, to help get through the rest of the gray time in Michigan. "Somewhere Tropical" is the name of our February COTM, inspired by my imaginary tropical vacation and my daughter Sydney's tropical honeymoon trip to Hawaii. Turquoise, sand, and speckles of hot pink, orange and green bring the tropical to you without the expensive plane ticket!

Inspired by the colors found in the layers of ice and dirt of glaciers❄, our January Color Of The Month (COTM) features layers of mint green, icy blue and cool lavender. In the world of Gnome River, these giant fields of ice and snow atop Mt. Artemis and Mt. Apollo 🏔 are occupied by some sort of large creature. We speculate that it must be a family of yetis, but the only clue they leave behind is footprints! 👣
