Introducing Fairy Floss

I LOVE a super light and lofty bulky weight yarn. It means we get to knit with HUGE needles and it goes super fast and I feel like a rockstar!!! I know you are going to check out the yardage on this yarn and scream "That's not a super bulky" (cuz that's what I did!!)...but this floofy yarn defies all yarn logic. It has an insane amount of yardage and So. Much. Floof!!

Fairy Floss

73% Extrafine Wool, 15% Baby Alpaca, 12% Polyamide

100 grams per 328 yards

Country of origin: Italy

Super Bulky

Crafted in the heart of Tuscany, Fairy Floss is a luxurious blend of airspun baby alpaca and virgin merino wool. With its super bulky gauge, this self-striping yarn creates bold, statement-worthy pieces perfect for cold-weather comfort. Each skein boasts 328 yards of yarn per 100 grams, offering both quality and generous yardage for your projects. Plus, care is simple—your creations will stay beautiful with minimal effort. Fairy Floss is machine washable on a cold, gentle cycle, so you can wear your garments as often as you'd like, without worrying about the hassle of handwashing.

We also have some super lovely patterns that are free with yarn purchase! Just remind us at checkout (in person or online!!)

I knit the Sydney cowl and it was so fun!!!! At first I was going to knit it in the round but decided to do it exactly as written!

It was this giant rectangle that I folded diagonally and tied it in the back and it was a super cute bandana cowl!!!

Then I seamed it like a good girl (pro tip: I used some fingering weight yarn for the mattress stitch, so much easier than pulling a floofy yarn!!!)

Karen Chemo Cap 5th Anniversary Makeover

I had someone ask me about the Karen Chemo Cap Fan Stitch and I decided the video and pattern were both in need of a make-over! Especially when I noticed this year is the 5th anniversary of publishing this pattern. When my mom had chemo I made her a few different hats because honestly it felt like the only thing I could do. I designed this one just for her, and was super excited when it was her favorite! After she passed I wasn't sure I wanted to release the design, but with a little time...it felt like the right thing to do! You can download the pattern for free here (please give it a favorite over on Ravelry so that it gets a little Ravelry love!!!): Ravelry: Karen Chemo Cap pattern by A Little Knitty Designs You can purchase the yarn we used here: Cumulus by Juniper Moon Farm (alittleknitty.com) Here is the video if you need help with the fan stitch!

Please share this pattern with anyone who would like to knit a hat for someone in need! You can download your pattern here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/gia-chemo-cap

This eliminates the purl stitches looking a little funky (if you know, you know). We decreased by 25% of the stitches about halfway through the cowl to allow the top of the cowl to be a little closer to the neck and the bottom spread over your shoulders if you want to wear it that way! We gave you little check boxes to check off as you complete repeats. **PATTERN** Using Main Color, CO92, place stitch marker and join in the round Round 1: (K2, P2) Repeat parentheses all the way around Repeat Round 1 six more times ⃞ ⃞...
