November 2020 Newsletter!
Hey ya’ll! It really is officially Fall!!! Sweater weather… crunchy yummy smelling leaves under foot… hot beverage and soup time… OK, so I’m writing this in October, and it’s Vermont, so we could have a blizzard tomorrow. But I’m embracing Fall for as long as it lasts!

Pattern Suggestions!
We are smitten with this little sweater by designer Marin Melchior! It is called Myrna’s Cardigan. It calls for fingering weight yarn, and is available in sizes 3-24 months. You can purchase the pattern at www.roundmountainfibers.com/patterns
Of course we are huge fans of Marin’s work in general, especially her Butterfly/Papillon shawl which many people have knit up in our yarn. It is a gorgeous pattern, perfect for mixing and matching our semisolids! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/butterfly--papillon
Here are a few beautiful finished garments knit up in our yarns!

Here is a beautiful sweater knit up in our Geology colorway ‘Chalcopyrite’ made super soft by knitting it up along with a silk/mohair blend! This is such a great idea!

We’ve seen several of these beautiful cozy cowls knit up in our yarn lately. Dip into your stash, or order some mystery bundles from us (always 50% off HERE). Use 4 semisolids, or one colorway and 3 semisolids for a beautiful and cozy cowl that will keep you entertained with a variety of stitches.

Another great pairing of yarn and pattern. Despite our love of color, we do love us a nice neutral garment. https://www.ravelry.com/projects/amcp/the-road-trip-shawl
