Spud & Chloe Stripey Fine Yarn

February 18, 2015 40 Comments

Spud & Chloe Stripey Fine Yarn

One of my favorite yarn brands, Spud & Chloe, has released a new yarn called Stripey Fine and they were kind enough to send some for me to review and share with you guys! It’s a superwash 80% wool/20% silk blend just like Spud & Chloe’s Fine yarn, which makes this a great yarn for shawls, baby knits and socks. The colors found in each of the 7 variegated Stripey Fine colorways are also colors you can find in their Fine yarn, so mixing stripes and solids in your knitting is really easy with these yarns.

Go to the bottom of this post for a yarn & pattern giveaway, and a coupon code for 50% off the Stripey Wristlet pattern featured throughout this post!

Spud & Chloe Stripey Fine Yarn

The Specs – Spud & Chloë Stripey Fine

Spud & Chloe Stripey Fine Yarn

Having knit the Stripey Wristlets Spud & Chloe pattern in Stripey Fine for this post, I can tell you this yarn is really light and colorful and lovely to work with. The texture is really nice and springy without being too elastic. Stripey Fine’s sweet, dessert-inspired color combos made me really excited to knit baby coveralls or some spring-tastic socks. PS: Even though each hank is only 50g, I had enough yarn to knit the Wristlets and have as much yarn as you see in the ball in the picture above leftover. I might have to combine the leftovers with one of the solids that coordinate with it for my next project!

Finally organizing & putting the finishing touches Finally organizing & putting the finishing touches on my home studio. After losing my studio space last fall, it’s feels really great to *occupy* this new space all the way. 😉
.
I started by removing general clutter & returning straggler supplies from various WIPs, videos & design deadlines to their homes. Next, I hung a third peg board in the space - this one is mostly for display and less for organizing tools or projects. For the first time ever, I’m displaying projects from my book, plus a couple other faves. (The best thing about designing more yarn crafts besides knit & crochet is that I have some really fun -and delightfully pettable 😆- samples around.) I finished by adding a square dowel to my small supply storage tower to keep it from tipping over, plus re-arranging and de-cluttering the closet. 
.
This cleaner space already has me feeling so much more creative and less overwhelmed. Now to find a safe spot in the basement for the tower of project samples in Rubbermaid tubs I liberated from my WIPs closet. Also why are there five?! 
.
Here’s to keeping it clean for a few weeks! 🧶

Sweater knitters, listen up! Learn how to knit a buttonhole over the course of a single row of knitting, a.k.a. a one-row buttonhole. In this technique, a combination of binding off and casting on stitches on opposite sides of the work creates a symmetrical, stretchy buttonhole.

The time limit on these is 90 seconds, so this quick tutorial is perfect to save for future reference. (Did you know you can make folders of saved items like tutorials? 👩🏼‍🏫)

The other thing occupying my time: I got an iPad to try digital planning and keep my design notes more organized, not to mention digitized. (Paper scribbling just ain’t it after 12 years.)

Accounts to follow, apps, must-know hacks for crafters - I’m excited to learn it all! 👩🏼‍🏫
