Amirisu, Issue 27.

Posted by on

The final issue of Amirisu is here!

Amirisu is a knitting magazine based in Japan, each issue filled with articles, interviews, and patterns from designers all over the world. This is the last issue of Amirisu as we know it, though they will continue to publish pattern books and online content in a similar vein.

This issue features knits full of thoughtful, creative details inspired by music.

I also spotted a profile of knitwear designer Julie Weisenberger, the founder of cocoknits, a purveyor of high quality tools for knitters.

Amirisu often includes tutorials and essays on crafts other than knitting, and this issue includes a few – an interview with a beadwork artist, and two sewing projects.

Amirisu is $24 – swing by to pick up a copy or order online for local pickup or shipping!

New colors in Kelbourne Woolens Mojave.

Posted by on

Last week brought five new colors in Kelbourne Woolens Mojave!

Mojave is a sport weight blend of 60% cotton and 40% linen, with 185 yards on each 50 gram skein. It’s composed of five tiny 2ply yarns twisted together, for a yarn that’s smooth and soft but also strong, with the beautiful drape we expect from plant fiber yarns.

Mojave is perfect for warm weather stitching – here are some ideas for knitters and crocheters!
