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!
Iridiana – Top
Iridiana is pure joy – pick your four (or two!) favorite colors and play mix and match with them to create a super wearable, lightweight summer top.
Iridiana is worked from the top down, starting with the four triangles that comprise the top. After joining the triangles and casting on stitches for the underarms, the body is worked seamlessly in the round using a clever technique to work intarsia in the round. The folded hem and i-Cord straps are the icing on the cake!

Pernelle is a 100% European hemp yarn, perfect for lightweight spring and summer garments and shawls.
The hemp fibers used in Pernelle are grown in Romania, where they are harvested and, after they've gone through various stages of retting, drying and scutching, wet-spun. The entire production process is done by a small family-run mill - something that we love to support.
After spinning, the hemp yarn is transported to Northern France where it is dyed in a GOTS-certified dye house. The stunning color range with options for everyone, no matter whether you love neutrals, gentle pastels or glowy jewel tones, is one of the best I've ever seen!
Pernelle knits up like a fingering-weight yarn – its yardage is slightly lower with 190 meters / 207 yards per 100g, but as it's a plant yarn, it won't bloom a lot after blocking. You can knit it at quite a few different gauges, depending on how drapey you'd like your fabric!
The best part? Hemp, like linen, only gets softer with wear – and with being washed in the washing machine! The yarn is completely non-superwash, but as it's a plant yarn, you can throw it into your washing machine without any concerns.
