Result of a day of Dyeing

Posted on September 19, 2013 by Lauria | Comments Off

We’re dyeing at Amy’s house, as she’s got a great back porch set up that’s perfect for dyeing and drying yarn. Yesterday, Susie was on her way to a meeting in DC, so I put the rest of the house to work after school was over. Oona has become my little shadow and a changed little being since I last saw her in January:

Amy is making the doofiest face here, but she’s going to have to live with it being on the blog because she knew I was taking a picture…

When we were finished and I went into the bathroom, I took a good look at myself and saw that I was filthy with soot and dye. This is after Neve’s special hand soak and it much improved from when I first came in:

Fortunately, a shower and some good scrubbing has cleared away most of the dye and soot, although it’s still clinging to around my nail bed. When all this is over, I’m going to pamper my hands. Don’t worry, I’ll share MY special recipe for soft, clean hands!

Come back this afternoon for to see which favorite older pattern we’re releasing digitally for the first time and giving away for FREE!

Introducing: Findley The Hesperides Collection

Posted on September 17, 2013 by Susan | Comments Off

I have run out of superlatives to describe all the amazing patterns that are available for our lace weight yarn, Findley. There is just so much good lace design going on right now and it’s all so very lovely. In spite of all the good stuff out there, I think Adrienne Ku’s charming Hesperides collection is going to make a big splash with lace knitters.

Adrienne Ku is a long time knitter, a relatively new spinner and a knitwear designer. She is also the wife of an avid fisherman and the mother of two almost grown sons. All of her boys are very supportive of her knitting habit and provide her with a steady supply of yarn. In return she knits them socks, lots and lots of socks.

We think you’ll love the Hesperides collection thought up by a new-to-us designer Adrienne Ku. Adrienne has created six knock-your-socks-off lace patterns for us, inspired by the many varieties of everyone’s favorite fall fruit – the apple.

Cortland fingerless mitts
A lacy fingerless mitt with garter stitch cuff. Simple increases and decreases create the pointed cast-on edge. The top is finished with a band of garter stitch.

Knit by: Sarah McCusker
Modeled by: Alison Green
Knit with: Findley
#28 Rusty Copper

Pinova shawl
This triangular lace shawl is worked from the top (neck) down. The lace pattern creates the scalloped border allowing the shawl to be made any size (larger or smaller) as desired.

Knit by: Akshata Dhareshwar
Modeled by: Lily Steven
Knit with: Findley
#30 Lilac Bushes

Norfolk fingerless mitts
A lacy fingerless mitt with a scalloped edge and ribbed cuff. Simple increases and decreases create the scalloped cast-on edge. The hand is worked in a simple lace pattern and the top is finished with 1×1 rib.

Knit by: Ronda Wisniewski
Modeled by: Patty Pope
Knit with: Findley
#29 Greengage

Evelina shawl
This half-circle shawl is worked from the top (neck) down. Simple increase rows are worked between each lace section to create the shaping. This shawl can easily be made larger by working more repeats of the last section. The shawl is finished with a knitted on border.

Knit by: Sue Isenhart
Modeled by: Alison Green
Knit with: Findley
#25 Buckwheat

Nicoter stole
This rectangular stole is worked in one piece from end to end. The lace pattern creates the scalloped edge for both the cast on and bound off edge. The side borders are worked in seed stitch with a slip-stitch edge. Length and width can easily be modified by altering the number of repeats worked.

Knit by: Sarah Johnson Sexton
Modeled by: Janelle Mills
Knit with: Findley
#26 Mulberry

Aerlies shawl
This circular shawl is worked in the round, from the center of the shawl outwards. Each lace section flows into the next with the increase worked into the lace patterns. This shawl can easily be made larger by working more repeats of the last lace pattern.

Knit by: Colleen Ringel
Modeled by: Janelle Mills
Knit with: Findley
#24 Snowy Skies

For this collection, we are releasing the patterns as digital downloads – the shawl patterns are just $4.99 and the perfect-for-leftovers fingerless mitt patterns are free! They use less than 1/5 a ball of Findley, so you can easily make 5 pairs or one pair after you’ve used up most of the generous ball of Findley.

These are only SOME of the fantastic new colors that Findley comes in. To see more colors click here. To find a store in your area that stocks Findley, click here. Be sure to click on “Find stores selling a particular brand” and select “Juniper Moon Farm” from the list before entering your location.

Pattern Ideas for Share Yarn – Cardigans!

Posted on September 13, 2013 by Sarah | Comments Off

Hi friends! Sarah here – you might remember me from my Hooray Ojai sweater post series. I know it’s still summery hot in some places, but where I live, it’s starting to feel like fall – cool mornings, crunchy leaves and even some rainy days. And, the Spring 2013 yarn shares are going to be here before you know it!

Because it won’t be too long until the yarn is here, I’ve already been thinking and dreaming about patterns for the Spring 2013 share yarn. I’ve been delving into Ravelry’s pattern database, and choosing some favourites – at Lauria’s suggestion, I’m going to share them with you!!

Whether you’re getting your share in DK or worsted weight, dyed or natural, half, full, or double, there are SOOO many awesome patterns out there. Plus, the share yarn has a LOT of excellent features: it’s very soft, but still wears well over time. It has lots of spring and body, great for cables and texture. And the colours of the hand dyes always look stunning! I’m going to start with my personal weakness: cardigans!

Before I show you some patterns, a couple of teeny disclaimers. First, always check your yardage to make sure you have enough yarn for your size. Second, take note of ease and how the sweater fits the model. Third, keep in mind that while these patterns list a suggested yarn weight (DK or worsted), if you’re comfortable making modifications, you can often adapt a pattern to work with a slightly heavier or lighter yarn weight! Without further ado – PATTERNS!

Maybe you like cardigans with pretty yoke details? How about…

Lady Catelyn, by Avril Lang (DK weight yarn)!

Lady Catelyn

Or maybe, the Gnarled Oak Cardigan, by Alana Dakos (DK weight yarn)!

Gnarled Oak Cardigan

If you’ve got worsted weight yarn… Perhaps the Antler Cardigan, by Alexa Ludeman, sized all the way from kids to adults?

Antler Cardigan

Or Skipperdee, by Julia Farwell-Clay?

Skipperdee

What if you’d prefer your cables to be all over your cardigan? The 100% Cormo wool share yarn has so much bounce and spring, it really does an amazing job of making cables shine. Check out the lovely Burrard cardigan, in DK weight, by Glenna C.

Burrard

And the Acer Cardigan, by Amy Christoffers, also in DK weight.

Acer Cardigan

In worsted weight, I love the I Heart Cardigans pattern, from Tanis Lavallee

I Heart Cardigans

Or, also in worsted weight, with both cool cables AND lovely pockets, the Aleph Cardigan, by Hannah Cuviello!

Aleph

How about something with simple lines that will show off your special, special share yarn? I love the Atelier Cardigan in DK weight, by Heidi Kirrmaier, which has both “simple” and “i-cord” options!

Atelier

Also in DK weight, Jaina by Thayer Preece Parker has great, dramatic drape!

Jaina

There must be some lace knitters in the house – I’ve got something for you, too! Thea Colman’s lovely Margarita pattern would be great in worsted weight share yarn, don’t you think?

Margarita

Or, in DK weight, Mari Chiba’s Ginny’s Cardigan, from the Unofficial Harry Potter Knits Collection!

Ginny's Cardigan

Enough yet? I could keep going – there are SOOO many more patterns that would show off all the amazing qualities of JMF Cormo share yarn! Honestly, I still have at least twenty other cardigan patterns on my short list. I’d love to hear which cardigan patterns YOU’ll be knitting up with your Juniper Moon share yarn!

Next time, I’ll have a whack of pullover patterns to show you. I’m so excited!

Now that it’s fall, Sarah eats oatmeal and cinnamon toast for breakfast, snuggles her cat, and piles on the handknits every chance she gets. She blogs now, too!

The Great Wall of Yarn

Posted on September 5, 2013 by Susan | Comments Off

Here’s what happens when about 2000 pound of yarn is delivered at one time:

The Great Wall of Yarn

Those boxes contain the Cormo and Colored Flock CSA Shares and all The Shepherd and The Shearer yarn and they all arrived within days of each other.

23 giant boxes of yarn, yarn and more yarn. An entire garage-worth of yarn. Yowza.

So what’s next? Well, once the Cormo shareholders have selected their dye color* and we’ve had a chance to update the databases with all the address changes, Lauria is heading down to Virginia to start The Great Yarn Shipment of 2013. It is going to be epic.

We are still awaiting the spinning shares, which come from a different mill, and a few more little sussies (“sussy” is a southern word meaning “a gift given for no reason”) but very soon, this mountain of yarn will be flying out of my garage and onto your needles. YAY!

*Lauria has emailed all 2013 shareholders and all participants in The Shepherd & The Shearer. If you have not received an email follow these step:

SHAREHOLDERS:

1. Make sure you have purchased a 2013 share by checking your paypal account BEFORE proceeding to step 2.

2. If you are positive you have a 2013 share (not 2012 or 2014) email Lauria at lauria {at} fiber farm {.} com

PARTICIPANTS IN THE SHEPHERD & THE SHEARER:

1. If you haven’t received an email about sizing and filled out the form (most of you have! YAY!), Email Lauria at lauria {at} fiber farm {.} com.

The next update will be later this week / early next week and will include pictures of both sweaters and info on purchasing extra yarn.

Introducing: Marlowe – The Alban Collection

Posted on September 3, 2013 by Susan | Comments Off

We’re thrilled to bring you Marlowe – The Alban Collection.

This season’s Marlowe comes in two different varieties, the variegated Marlowe you know and love already, and a collection of Jeweltones. As you’ll see in the patterns, they pair well together, but can also stand on their own. Marlowe is a 50% wool, 50% silk blend in a worsted-to-aran weight yarn. The silk content makes the yarn just glow and it has a wonderful drape.

Marlowe03

Like the Herriot Heather patterns, these patterns are printed leaflets, available at your LYS.

All of these patterns were named after words in Scottish poetry; they might be named after an author or a word in a title, or just a word discovered while reading poems written by Scottish authors both contemporary and classic. All these patterns are quick-knit accessories, perfect for gift giving.

They are paired with a fun recipe from the farm, space permitting. Check the back of the pattern to see if we had room to include one. The recipes are some of our farm-favorites, sure to please your family or friends!

Forsyth scarf and hat
A fun color-block hat and scarf set that is perfect for knitting in front of the TV or in a social setting, Forsyth is named after William Forsyth, a Scottish poet.

Knitters: Beverly Katz & Lori Perrine
Modeled by: Laurel Gann
Yarn: Marlowe
#104 Glacier
#17 Abalon

Torridon hat and cowl
The easily memorized chevron pattern with contrasting stripes used in this quick-to-knit set evokes the mountains and the sea as described in Algernon Charles Swinburne’s poem “Torridon Loch”.

Knitters: Brenda Beaudoin & Marci Lavine Bloch
Modeled by: Alison Green
Yarn: Marlowe
#110 Bondi
#18 Peacock Feather

Gean hat and wrist warmers
A fun set of fingerless mitts and hat featuring a twisted stitch leaf pattern that works up very quickly. The clever twisted stitch pattern is reminiscent of the leaves of the Gean tree.

Knitters: Jody Strine, Julie Sprague, & Debbie Palmer
Modeled by: Laurel Gann
Yarn: Marlowe
#12 Spring Pasture

Brekken shawl
Named after a poem by Christine De Luca, Brekken is a triangular stockinette shawl with eyelet rows for interest. This simple shawl is easy to memorize and the perfect accessory to grab on your way out the door.

Knitters: Lindsay Berdan & Sheeri Cabral
Modeled by: Lauria Kincaid
Yarn: Marlowe
#103 Key Lime Pie

Triermain scarf and hat
Triermain is named after a poem by Sir Walter Scott about a knight seeking to rescue a maiden in a deep enchanted sleep. This slouchy hat and generously-sized scarf feature a Celtic cable and can be worn by either a man or a woman.

Knitters: Rose Lane & Erin Lucido
Modeled by: Jeanne Lucas
Yarn: Marlowe
#108 Maple Leaf

Tam Lin wrap
This wrap is named after the ballad in which an elf is returned to human form by a maiden who must wrap herself around him while the Queen of the Fairies turns him into many different creatures before he’s finally returned to himself. The lacy motif reminds of the forest where Tam Lin lived.

Knitters: Gwen Keith & Cris Ferguson
Modeled by: Alexis Di Gregorio
Yarn: Marlowe
#16 Summer Fields

Virmonda shawl
This triangular shawl features a striking geometric lace pattern. Keep it in the over air-conditioned office or save it for a special night out, either way you’ll love being able to wear Virmonda.

Knitters: Lorna De Bono & Helen Elston
Modeled by: Alison Green
Yarn: Marlowe
#109 Purple Taffy

Spens cowl, hat and arm warmer set
Named after the popular Scottish ballad “Sir Patrick Spens” about Queen Margaret returning home across the North Sea, this accessory set features a lovely cable detail around the edges symbolizing the two coasts and a “sea” of stockinette.

Knitters: Lori Veteto
Modeled by: Janelle Mills
Yarn: Marlowe
#105 Passion Swirl

Log Cabin Blanket

Posted on August 11, 2013 by Amber | Comments Off

Remember a million years ago when I started a Log Cabin blanket?

It hasn't seen any progress in a long, long time, but it does get brought out and admired from time to time, or sat upon, as the case may be. (Yes this is nothing but a gratuitous baby picture. Humor me, she's the last one.)

ANYWAY. I laid out my blanket today to figure out the next colors and admire the floor. You know what? Almost four years in this house and I still get a little thrill sometimes when the sunlight hits the floors just right.

And then I wanted to sort of take inventory of the yarn I have, so I did something I've been itching to do for months now.

I have greens,

reds,

blues,

and my apparent favorite, yellows,

But this! This is what I wanted to do:

RAINBOW HEAVEN!!!!! There's just nothing like rainbow colors. (Also, this would make a good holiday greeting card for the fiber obsessed.)

Also, also: I have been making some good progress on my Blaithin and should have the second sleeve done in the next three days or so. Then just a few more inches on the body and I can join! But I have to save a little mystery for my next Juniper Moon Farm guest post, so that's all I will share for now.

Weekend Update

Posted on August 10, 2013 by Adri H. | Comments Off

Based on my last few posts, it might seem like I'm not knitting or sewing.
But I am! Really! I just haven't been as diligent with taking photos and uploading them.

I was also recently commissioned to make twin baby blankets for a pair of recently born fraternal twins. So, that was taking a bit of my spare time thinking how I was going to make it happen by October. Enter the knitting machine manual, a garter bar, and I'm finally on my way. I'll be using Cascade Yarns Heritage Sock yarn thanks to a friend who wanted to de-stash and some local stores that are carrying it! I still have to figure out what will happen with the border, but I get ahead of myself...

Here's the plan:

the plan of action

The new mom likes purples and pinks for the girl twin, and greens for the boy twin - check.

The swatch says it will work!

I had to figure out how much yarn was actually needed so after an initial gauge swatch to choose the best tension on the machine - I liked 6.25 - I did a test run. The test blocks revealed that each 6" x 6.5" block takes circa 8g of yarn. Which means when multiplying 8g x 48 blocks, 384 g total yarn is needed, and I have 400g of yarn (100g x 4 skeins). In the plan, there's 12 pink blocks, 12 purple, and 24 white so it should be enough yarn! Same with the greens: 12 dk green, 12 lt green, 24 grey blocks.

yarn with previous plan of action

I'll probably add texture in the form of cables and random garter stitch just to change things up, but we have the main knitting settled. Crossing my fingers it'll be enough yarn.

lilac, pink, and white

greens and grey

If not, I'll reach into my stash and make it work...

I've also been working on a skirt which is eluding completion due to the fact that I somehow thought it would be a cool idea to have a side seam zipper as well as side seam pockets. Yeah. I'll see how that works out.
Have a great weekend!

Fall Preview

Look What's Coming Soon (and other news)

Fall 2013 Preview

As you know, I attended The National Needlearts Association convention in Columbus, Ohio back in mid-June. With it being my first time attending and I attended alone, I was overwhelmed by all the exciting new things. Of course, I couldn't help but keep in mind new things, especially things that you may not find in the other yarn stores in the Milwaukee area, but I also gravitated towards things that caught my eye (including designers I admire).

Nevertheless, I did walk away from the convention with some exciting orders placed for brand new yarn and kits for the upcoming fall season. All things that would provide for excellent class projects and inspirational fall/winter knitting. So here's a few things you can expect to see on your fall class roster:

If you'd like to sign up in advance for any of the classes below, contact me at info@midwestyarn.com for more details (and selecting kit colors).

- The Color Wave Shawl, featuring Kauni Effektgarn (100% wool, sport weight). Class price $40, plus cost of kit, coming later this fall (class dates to be determined).

- The Block Party Eternity Scarf, featuring fingering weight yarns from Knit One/Crochet Too. A great pattern to learn a good provisional cast-on and mosaic knitting (beginner level color work which allows you to work one color at a time per row...it's almost magical).

Class price $55 (4 classes), plus cost of kit.

Sundays, 12pm - 2 pm

September 22, 29, October 6, 13

Contact me ASAP as the kits are set to arrive September, so I will need to know if more will need to be ordered prior to that.

- Sea Lettuce Shawl. The sample for this is already on display in the shop, mainly because I couldn't put this gorgeous yarn down. Featuring Crock 'o Dye fingering weight yarn from Knit One, Crochet Too.

Learn striping color work, drop stitches (on purpose), and how to read lace charts. More of an intermediate/advanced class, so must have basic knitting skills like casting on, working in garter stitch (knit all rows) and binding off.

Class price $55 (4 classes), plus cost of kit.

Saturdays, 12pm - 2 pm

September 28, October 5, 12, 19

More classes are to be listed soon...

Midwest Yarn's Makeover

We've also updated our shop to make room for more yarn and give it more of a boutique atmosphere. With that change, we are also upgrading the website to be more user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing. Do bear with me as those changes are being made, I want to make sure that it is easier in the future to run sales online and even make the online customer rewards program an automatic process, rather than run manually on my end.

Other news

Unfortunately, due to the lack of interest and no pre-orders made, we will not be adding spinning wheels and accessories to our inventory until further notice. I do urge our customers to continue to support Midwest Yarn's growth by participating in yarn and supply pre-orders. Remember, we are a smaller shop and big risks like bringing in new yarn lines and other products must be worthwhile in order for us to make it and continue serving the Milwaukee area.

A big thank you to those who take advantage of special ordering yarn from the companies we have accounts with. We may not have room for everything, but we still make sure you can get what you need as quickly as possible. If you don't see what you're looking for, ask to take a look at our catalogs. Most custom orders arrive within a week, because our suppliers are awesome! Don't worry, you customers are awesome too and I live to make you happy by providing yarny goodness.

Lastly, we'll be closed Friday and Saturday the third week in August to go mobile. That's right I'll be running a booth at the Mid-Ohio Fiber Fair in Newark, Ohio (just outside of Columbus), selling not only the wonderful yarns we have in the shop, but also OMG's hand dyed yarn, hand dyed fiber, and hand spun yarn. My patterns will also be available for purchase as well.

Until next time!

Introducing Herriot Heathers

Posted on August 5, 2013 by Susan | Comments Off

It may feel like summer outside but cooler days will be here before you know it. That means it’s time to introduce you to our new Fall/Winter yarns and design collections!

First up is Herriot Heathers, an extension of our very popular 100% Baby Alpaca Herriot yarn! Herriot was originally only available in 10 all natural colors; Herriot Heathers comes in 10 lovely, gently heathered shades. Otherwise, though, it’s all Herriot!

Herriot Heathers Color Card

This season we’re very excited to be releasing patterns in a different way. In the past we’ve released each collection as booklets jam-packed with with patterns. However, you have been clamoring to be able to buy individual pattern from the collection and this season, you can. We’re releasing all these patterns as printed leaflets, available at your LYS.

And you will want to buy these patterns! The collection was designed by one of my favorite people in the world, Alison Green. Seriously, if there is one person in the world who I wish I lived in my town, it’s Alison. She is fun, and funny and full of so much joie de vivre. Just knowing I’m going to see her puts a smile on my face. Plus, she’s a brilliant designer who is going places. If I sound like a total fangirl, it’s because I am!

Here’s a more formal bio:

Alison Green (formerly Alison Green Will) is a knit designer, knitting teacher and technical editor living in Haverhill, MA. Her designs have been published in Twist Collective, Interweave Knits, Knitty, and she has designed for yarn companies such as Classic Elite and SweetGeorgia Yarns. You can find her independently published patterns on Ravelry or her website, www.AlisonGreenWill.com.

The Haverhill collection celebrates the landmarks near and in designer Alison Green’s town. It features both cablework and colorwork to show off Herriot Heathers’ crisp stitch definition and smooth drape.
