As the temperatures drop and we bundle up in layers, our team has been hard at work selecting the coziest yarns to keep you warm and inspired. Each staff member has a special pick that brings comfort, creativity, and a touch of their unique style to your fall and winter projects.

Michelle’s Fave: Malabrigo Rasta

Malabrigo Rasta is a stunning, 100% superwash merino wool that’s soft, durable, and comes in a breathtaking range of colors. It’s perfect for cozy, next-to-skin projects, and the yarn’s hand-dyed nature gives each piece a unique look.

The Super Easy Knit Ribbed Hat by CJ Designs is is beginner-friendly and made for bulky weight yarn, making it a fast knit that you can whip up just in time for winter’s chill. And all this comes with a free detailed step-by-step Youtube video instructions to walk you through the pattern, to boot!

Janice’s Pick: Cascade Eco+

Janice raves about Cascade Eco+ for its unbeatable versatility and rich, earthy color palette. Made from 100% Peruvian Highland wool, Cascade Eco+ is both durable and soft, making it perfect for creating everything from chunky sweaters to cozy blankets and accessories. Each skein has a generous yardage, which means fewer joins in your projects and more uninterrupted knitting pleasure.

Kelsey’s Pick: DROPS Air

Kelsey loves DROPS Air for its blend of warmth, softness, and versatility. This yarn combines baby alpaca, merino wool, and polyamide in a blown structure that keeps it light as air but incredibly insulating. Perfect for sweaters, scarves, and even blankets, DROPS Air is a dream to work with, especially for those sensitive to wool.

Sarah’s Pick: Fireweed Tweed

Sarah recently finished her Three Seasons Cardigan by Wool & Pine, and it’s a masterpiece! She chose Fireweed Tweed in the stunning Black Emerald colorway—a hand-dyed gem from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Made from 85% superwash merino, it’s gentle against the skin. The 15% Donegal neps add a charming, tweedy feel with flecks of neutral tones that’s had a sort of vintage Christmas feel. Living in Vancouver means Sarah loves lighter fabrics that layer beautifully under a coat for extra warmth without bulk.
