New Square Peg Yarn - Tea Series

I am SOOO excited to introduce our latest batch of Square Peg Yarn!! This series was inspired by Apolis Teas...the amazing tea we stock in the yarn shop (sorry, we don't ship these...they are a little too spendy to ship!) Let's introduce the yarns and the tea that inspired them...

English Breakfast Tea

Origin: House Blend
Flavor: jam, grain, brisk

A wholly different sort of breakfast tea from our Irish Breakfast. This blend has no Assam but a base of Yunnan instead. It is smooth with a thick jammy flavor and a bright finish with notes of grape skin. Excellent black or with milk.

Historically, "English" breakfast teas were predominantly made from Chinese teas which were more expensive than Indian teas. In contrast, "Irish" breakfast teas leaned more toward the malty, inexpensive teas that came out of colonial India.

Sweet Cream Earl Grey Tea

Our blend of organic black teas with bright cold-pressed bergamot oil, creamy vanilla, and a touch of floral orange blossom brews a totally different cup of Earl Grey! Drink it black or with milk and sugar any time you need a little pick-me-up. Blended with 94% organic ingredients.

Garden Mint Tea

Origin: House Blend
Flavor: mint, lavender, rosemary

Made with two types of mint plus aromatic garden herbs, this minty blend is refreshing & light with a touch of rosemary & sweet lavender. Excellent with a bit of honey or over ice.

Mary & Blue Tea

Origin: Apolis Tea house blend
Flavor: blueberry, damp leaves, rosemary

Just like hiking on a rainy day! Earthy pu’erh (aged) tea has a rich, loamy flavor like damp leaves. Pair that with ripe blueberries & herbaceous rosemary and you have a unique, compelling cup that is smooth, dark & satisfying.

Blended with 88% organic ingredients.

Moroccan Rose Tea

Origin: Apolis Tea house blend

A rooibos blend featuring the delicate flavors found in Moroccan sweets like cardamom & rose. Paired with our cold-pressed bergamot oil, this caffeine-free herbal brews a smooth, fragrant cup that is perfect with dessert!

Blended with 94% organic ingredients.

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!

The pattern sells for $4.95 on Ravelry and calls for a sport weight cotton. The shop sells a DK cotton that would also work beautifully for these cuties - Ricorumi Another bookmark pattern is Leaf Bookmark & Garland Motif by Joey Diehl . This pattern is FREE and calls for Worsted weight yarn, so Uptown Worsted would be perfect for this. How about a sweet pocket friend for a child? This one is super basic, called Worry Pet by Blue Fox Paws and is a FREE pattern and uses any gauge yarn! It would be fun to use a textured yarn, or a fuzzy kind, but any yarn works. You can opt to put the ears on or not. We have safety eyes in the shop, too! Do you know someone who uses Airpods and could use a co...
