Good morning everyone!

Us folks at Southern Purl are extending an invite to you all out in our comm-u-knitty to come hang with us and knock out the Olive Knits 4 day sweater knit a long.

We will be joining in on the Zoom at our shop on our big TVs all 4 days.

This has been an annual tradition for Olive Knits for the past 10 years and they are going out with a fun finale. The Pattern is called Watermark and you have the choice to go for a pullover or a cardigan.

The pattern will be released on July 1st and you can currently preorder it on the website:

https://www.oliveknits.com/product/watermark-pullover/

“This classic piece is knit top-down, with raglan construction and all-over lace details. The body length is easy to adjust to make it shorter or longer for the fit you like. The sleeves include options for short, half, and long lengths, and if you’d really like to spice it up, you might consider a contrasting color for your trim/ribbing.”

Light DK weight yarn is recommended and it is knit up on US 3 and 5 needles.

For the yarn and notions - look no further than our local shop or check out our website.

We are hoping to see all your beautiful faces soon.

If you haven't stopped by the shop to squish the new Fibra Natura Cobblestone, this is your sign! These massive 200g cakes are 100% Superwash Merino Wool, featuring a stunning multi-colored marled twist that does all the hard visual work for you.

With a generous 612 yards per cake, you can easily knock out a major project with just one or two cakes.

Here are a few project ideas that would look absolutely incredible in this yarn:

1. The Reyna Shawl (by Noora Backlund) – A classic, breezy knit shawl where the marled color changes will beautifully highlight the mesh sections.

2. The Cobblestone Cowl (or any simple textured infinity scarf) – Let basic knit-purl stitches or simple crochet rows showcase that beautiful barber-pole twist.

3. A Simple, Classic Cardigan – Grab two or three cakes and cast on a seamless, top-down raglan. The marling gives plain stockinette stitch tons of high-end depth!

What is your absolute favorite pattern for multi-colored or marled yarns? Tag the designer or drop the pattern name in the comments so we can all get some fresh cast-on inspiration this weekend!

If wool isn't your jam, or you just love the incredibly crisp stitch definition of pure cotton, you are going to absolutely swoon over our Ricorumi display!

We’re continuing our tour of tiny skeins with these perfect 25g cuties from Rico Design. They are literally made for amigurumi (it's right there in the name!), giving your little crocheted and knitted characters the smoothest, neatest finish possible.

Why these are an amigurumi favorite:

• 100% Cotton: Durable, washable, and perfect for toys that will be loved hard by little hands.
• Crisp Definition: Makes every single intricate stitch pop beautifully.
• Endless Palette: From deep navy to sunny yellow and every pink in between, you can build your exact character palette without having to buy massive, expensive skeins.

Come play with the colors at the shop to build your next project bundle!

Let's settle the debate in the comments: What is your absolute go-to fiber for making toys—are you a loyal cotton fan, enjoy the squish of wool, or prefer an acrylic?

They give you the absolute perfect yardage for contrasting pops of color, fair isle details, and little toy limbs without the commitment of buying a full-sized skein. Plus, that 75% Superwash Merino / 25% Nylon blend means your stitches will look crisp and hold up beautifully!

From soft, earthy neutrals to the brightest neon pops, we have a shade for literally every project. Come squish them in person and build your perfect palette! 🎨
