Exciting news, Thistlers! Icelandic wool and Thai mulberry silk meet in our newest yarn line, E+2 by Einrúm!

First featured in this year’s Spring Taster Box, E+2 blends 80% Icelandic wool with 20% Thai mulberry silk. The wool brings warmth, breathability, and durability, while two strands of silk add strength, softness, and a subtle sheen.

The “E” stands for Ístex Einband, the lace-weight Icelandic wool at its core, and “+2” refers to the two silk strands plied with it. The yarn blooms after blocking while maintaining defined stitches, and several striking colorways pair naturally colored wool with contrasting silk for added depth. We’re looking forward to seeing what you make with it!

We love our Shopcast contributors!

One of the best parts of every Shopcast is hearing different perspectives from knitters in our community, and in Shopcast Episode 284, Kelsey shares a reminder we think every knitter needs to hear:

🧶 "There's no knitting police!" 🧶

Whether you're modifying a pattern, choosing a different yarn, or knitting at your own pace, your knitting should bring you joy. There are no rules that say you have to do it one certain way.

Tune in to Shopcast Episode 284 on YouTube for Kelsey's great insights, along with plenty of inspiration from Corinne, Maggie, and the rest of the Woolly Thistle team.

What's the best knitting advice you've ever received? Tell us in the comments! 💚

One of our favorite conversations from this episode is all about planning your next knit...

🧶 Do you plan your projects months in advance?
🧶 Do you buy yarn first and let it inspire you?
🧶 Or are you a spontaneous cast-on knitter?

We'd love to hear how you decide what to knit next!

Grab your knitting, settle in with a cup of tea, and join us for Episode 284 on YouTube. Then come back and tell us: How do you plan your next knit?

💜 Two beautiful new colors from Scottish Wool Company (formerly Scottish Yarn Festival) have arrived at The Woolly Thistle!

Meet:
💙 Buchanan – a rich, classic navy blue
💜 Lamont – the perfect purple

Eva of Scottish Wool Company names each colorway after a Scottish clan, and we’re especially honored that Lamont was inspired by Corinne’s own family clan. It makes this colorway extra meaningful to us!

You’ll find both new shades available in DK and Fi*****ng weight, ready for your next shawl, sweater, socks, or colorwork project.

So throw yourself a little ceilidh, cast on something special, and scoop up these gorgeous new skeins before they’re gone! 🧶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
