In my humble opinion, you can never go wrong with navy. 💙 It’s timeless, versatile, and flattering on everyone. I’m so happy with how this men’s raglan sweater turned out and can’t wait for the lucky recipient to receive it!

Made with 100% US Wool, this sweater was thoughtfully designed with comfort, durability, and fit in mind. Every stitch is tested by me, so it feels as good as it looks. 🧶✨

And the finished, seamed up products! The cowl was a custom order request. Im thinking of adding it to the offerings in a few different color-ways. Thoughts? 🥰

Summer may be in full swing, but fall orders are already underway. Thank you so much for all the support! Next up is finishing the special Bitterroot Sagebrush Tank on my needles while I finish mapping out the shawl collar cardigan specs in my brain. 🤌🏻

Fresh off the knitting machine, to be turned into hats and a cowl, followed by a nice soak and blocking 🤌🏻 Summer evenings are lovely, and I love the 9:30pm sunsets. However all of these orders have me excited for brisk fall days to come ☺️

Copper K Fiber Fest, it’s the best weekend of the year! (🎶 The best weekend of the year! 🎶)

Copper K Fiber Fest is happening this weekend in Whitehall, and this is Kami’s last year running it 💞 So grateful for this community event she has led all these years.

I’m rocking the Bitterroot Sagebrush Tank in Kami’s DK Weight To***co Root Valley Yarn (beautiful, soft 100% Rambouillet Targhee Wool!)—snatch up the pattern on our website and then head over to the fiber fest to grab your yarn and support this awesome event.

Thanks for everything you’ve done to lead this event Kami 🩷 I love this year’s colorway and glad I snatched up two skeins!
