  1. Fibre Talk - Linen

The Fibre Friday posts have now been edited to reflect our current selection of yarns, under the new heading Fibre Talk. This week's fibre feature is linen.

  4. What Maya Knits - Selja

    So, prior to writing this blog post I checked and it turns out that last time I wrote a 'What Maya Knits' post was nearly a year ago - and that gives you an indication of how much knitting time there is in my life - not much! But sometimes you just notice the one, the one project you just...
  5. Yarn Pairings for Pom Pom Quarterly Issue 25 – Summer 2018

    New magazine days are always fun here at the shop, and we are absolutely in love with the latest issue from Pom Pom Quarterly. Summer 2018 is Issue 25 for them and it does not disappoint. Spring can be a bit of a tricky season for knitwear but here there is loads of inspiration. One reason this issue is so...
  6. Yarn Pairings for Pom Pom Quarterly Issue 22 - Autumn 2017

    August is one of those in between months. There's still some hot days, and the kids are still on holiday, but the nights can be cool, and there are adverts on the telly for back to school supplies. Rainy days mean cozying up and thinking about the season to come, one of the most exciting seasons for any knitter. It's...
  7. Yarn of the Week: Lyonesse 4ply

    This week's yarn is Lyonesse 4ply from Blacker Yarns. Perfect for transitional seasons, it is a blend of Linen and Corriedale/Merino wool. This combination creates a subtle flecked fabric where the two fibres blend together. The yarn can have a very rustic appearance in the ball, but linen softens dramatically with knitting and washing, so don't let that dissuade you...

All of the patterns we have used are available in the shop, either as a hard copy or through the Ravelry In-store program. This is a fantastic program that...

    How beautiful is our latest arrival? It's of Making No.1 Flora, the first issue of a brand new magazine from Carrie Bostick Hoge of Madder Made.

This inaugural issue includes contributions from 21 different designers and makers across multiple craft...
  10. Yarn Pairings for Pom Pom Issue 17 Summer 2016

    There has been so much anticipation for this latest issue of Pom Pom here at Knit with attitude, especially after hosting the samples for Yarn Shop Day at the end of April. It's finally here!
