We have a handful of skeins left after shipping all the knit-along yarn. The KAL is over, but the yarn is available now in case you missed out the first time around.
Join us for a mystery KAL in February 2025!
This data-inspired self-striping yarn transforms February's night sky into a knittable calendar. Each stripe represents a day of the month, with colours reflecing key astronomical evens. It's the perfect way to blend your passion for science and crafting into one stellar project.
The KAL itself will take place primarily in our Ravelry group.
This knit-along, along with another in April, takes the place of last year’s winter club. As before, the yarn will be a surprise, but these photos offer a glimpse of the colour palette.
Yarn will ship by mid-January so we are ready for a February 1 cast on.
You are welcome to work with any pattern you'd like. Choose the yarn that best suits your project. It's a great choice for socks. For a hat or cowl, we recommend the One Way Trip version here.
Striping Patterns
Striping Patterns
Round Trip "There and back" with two matching halves—perfect for projects like socks. One 100 g skein of fingering weight is enough for an average-size pair of women's socks. For longer or wider socks, choose the 150 g size.
One-Way Trip A long, non-repeating color sequence, great for hats, cowls, or scarves. For a Musselburgh Hat, 100 g of Trifecta or MCN is enough for a size L hat but you will need 150 g if you'd like a wide, folded brim. 4-Ply has more yardage so 100 g is enough to make a folded brim.
Shawl Yarn Specially dyed for top-down triangular shawls. Each stripe is the same width from beginning to end, with no ends to weave in. 100 g of fingering weight is enough for a small shawlette. 150 g gives a more generous size. If you want to maximize your yardage, choose our 4-Ply sock yarn.
Sweater Yarn Designed for garments like baby sweaters. The stripes appear only on the yoke, and the rest is a coordinating solid color—no switching yarns or breaking the flow.
