Hi lovelies,
I'm back today with one of my favorite things: The story behind yarn! There's a reason we're called "Making Stories" - I love telling how and why the amazing yarns, notions and patterns we're lucky enough to carry are created. The makers behind them are all, without exception, dedicated, wonderful, thoughtful people, and so talking with them about their products is such a joy.
Today, we're taking a closer look at Close, the all-natural sock yarn by Ovis et cetera we just started carrying. The minute I spotted it on Saskia's Instagram, I knew that I wanted it for the shop. It's custom-spun by the folx at John Arbon Textiles who really, really know their stuff when it comes to creating yarn.
Left to right: Clay, Plum, Toffee, Olive, Sea, Sage
The blend of Devon Closewool, Exmoor Blueface and Zwartbles comes from just around the corner of the mill, which means it hasn't travelled very far - just from the mill in the UK to the Ovis et cetera dye studio in Germany. It's spun with a high twist, something that's really important for an all-natural sock yarn as it adds durability, and has a beautiful halo to it.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Saskia about Close, and am so delighted to share its story with you today!
From the very beginning a big focus of Ovis et cetera was non-superwash sock yarns. Although I have many other natural yarns in the collection, collecting and curating natural sock yarns really has my heart. I wanted a 100% wool, relatively local, natural sock yarn as this brings together everything that Ovis et cetera stands for in one yarn.
It's impossible to pick a favourite, I love how the grey shines through the lighter colours like Sage & Clay while I also equally love how it adds a bit of extra oomph to the more saturated colours like Sea or Olive.
I got you covered! I love looking through Ravelry, searching for patterns that really bring out the best in a yarn, and then putting them together on a Pinterest board.
I'm always trying to find designs that are not everywhere yet and that are size inclusive. If you have a favorite sock pattern that you'd like me to add to our Pinterest board for all-natural sock yarns, let me know in the comments below!

We've seen dramatic changes in the knitting magazine landscape over the past 12 months: Pom Pom Quarterly ceased publication at the end of 2023, Laine sold the majority of their company to one of the biggest Finnish publishers, and Amirisu first pivoted to books, and now to an online-only media outlet. Multicraftual magazines that often included knitting patterns were equally as affected: Making pivoted to a combined app and monthly membership business model, and Taproot first changed to a preorder model, and then very abruptly closed their business (the website is offline, hence no link).
This has left us standing as one of the very, very few indie knitting magazines in the market.
