New Yarn - Nordic Yarn Eco Cashmere
When introducing new yarns to our selection here at KWA I often describe my relationship to the yarns as a love story - and this is because they often are! From noticing the yarn with a tingling feeling of falling in love, admiring from a distance, establishing a connection and finally as a full blown romance bringing the collaborations to...

What Yarns to Dye?

But there are a number of things you can bear in mind when choosing a yarn to knit for the littlest member of the family.

Spitalfields ShawlFor this, the first of the Throwback Thursday posts we are casting our minds back to 2015 and the 5th anniversary of Knit With Attitude. The aptly named Spitalfields Shawl takes its name from Maya's beginnings with Knit With Attitude. Maya started her shop as a stall at the Spitalfield's Market with two boxes of yarn. The Spitalfield's Shawl was launched at...
