Posting date: 28 March 2023

We’ve recently expanded our selection of sock yarn! Creative Yarns is now carrying Smooshy by Dream in Color Yarn.  

Inspired by the richly textured hues found in nature, the colorways of Dream in Color are hard to beat. Beautifully saturated solids and gorgeously painted multicolors will elevate your craft to the next level.

Smooshy Sock Yarn is a bouncy, squishy fingering weight superwash merino and nylon blend that holds up wonderfully in socks and wears well in accessories and garments. Size is approximately 420 yards/ 4 ounces. 85% superwash merino wool, 15% nylon.

Just because it’s called sock yarn doesn’t mean you have to knit socks with it!

Pattern suggestion: Bibbe pullover

Posting date: 4 October 2022

 

Fall is officially here. The start of fall in the Northern Hemisphere was couple weeks ago and what is the best way to celebrate than to knit up an oversized pullover? Creative Yarns is here with a weekly pattern suggestion.  

Step one is to pick a nice pattern. Creative Yarns suggests Bibbe pullover by Meghan Kelly. It is an oversized dolman pullover worked in pieces from the bottom up. Increases are worked at the underarms to shape the sleeves. Short rows shape the shoulders. When working the front, the neck shaping is worked simultaneously with the short row shaping. pattern suggestion bibbe pullover

Step two is to pick a nice yarn. We decided to knit this beautiful pullover with Arranmore Light by The Fibre Company. It is woollen spun DK weight yarn. It is 80% merino wool, 10% cashmere and 10% sillk. Garments made with this yarn are light and warm at the same time.
