We're here to help you stitch sustainability into every aspect of your making.
With our carefully curated selection of non-superwash, plastic-free yarns and notions, we have everything you need to get started on your next project - and the one after that.
Here's to a wardrobe of knits we love and want to wear for years to come!
In our last blog post, we introduced you to one of our favourite sustainable yarn producers, Garthenor, chatted all about their gorgeous sock yarn, Snowdonia Sock and did a little project planning to get the sock inspiration flowing! If you missed that post, you can catch up on it by clicking here.
Today, we want to take a look at another of their yarns; Beacons! This DK weight yarn has been a firm favourite ever since we introduced it into the webshop, and there's a good reason for that.
If you are looking for a little project inspiration for this yarn, we have a whole Pinterest board with lots of ideas, but if Pinterest isn't your thing don't worry! I've shared a few project ideas with you below also.

We've also recorded a new "Get To Know" video where Hanna Lisa talks about the story behind Garthenor and Beacons, so if you're looking for a little woolly entertainment to accompany your knitting, check it out below!

If Pinterest or YouTube isn't your thing, check out our favourite patterns for Beacons below!
The colour combinations for the Coloring Book Raglan by Aimee Sher are endless with Beacons, but it would be particularly lovely with Cinder and Gorse!
The Florence Tank from Sari Nordlund is stunning, and works for both warm and cold weather knitting! One in every colour would be best, but here I've paired it with Wild Olive, and it's sure to become a wardrobe staple.
Radiate by Joji Locatelli is so much fun, and it looks like a super satisfying knit! How pretty would it be paired with Marble and Koi?
Pando Shawl by Amor Esperanza has a stunning stitch pattern that would really shine in Beacons. I've paired it with the gorgeous grey/blue Cadet!

What do you think of my project planning?! My summer project list just grew by quite a bit, but I'd love to know, do you plan to try Beacons? Or if you've already had it on your needles, do share your pattern recommendations with us below!

Hi lovelies! The sun is out here in Berlin, and what better day to talk about one of the most joyful issues we've ever done than a brilliant sunny winter day – meet Issue 13, Confetti & Rainbows!
In Issue 13 – our Spring 2025 Issue – we want to play! Confetti and rainbows, unusually and unconventionally interpreted in 12 new knitwear designs – a journey through color, shapes, texture and materials.
Confetti made out of dried flowers, collected over months from bouquets and the road side. Sparkly rainbows, light reflecting. Gentle textures and shapes, echoing the different forms confetti can take. An unexpected rainbow around the corner, on a brick wall, painted in broad strokes.
Hi lovelies! I am back today with a wonderful behind-the-scenes interview with Caroline Frett, a super talented illustrator from Berlin, who is the heart and and hands behind the new look we've been sporting for a little while.
Caro also has a shop for her delightfully cheeky and (sometimes brutally) honest T-Shirts, postcards, and mugs. (I am particularly fond of this T-Shirt and this postcard!)
I am so excited Caro agreed to an interview to share her thoughts and work process, and what she especially loves about our rebrand!
