FIBRE CO. CUMBRIA

Cumbria March Hat and Rib Interrupted Cowl in the color Threlkeld.

It's officially time for warm, woolly knits!

Cumbria is the Fibre Co.'s dreamy, worsted weight blend of light and lofty Masham wool and soft South American merino with a delicate mohair halo. The Masham wool's natural brown color lends a moody and subtly heathered cast over Cumbria's rich color palette, which is tailor-made for fall and winter knitting!

Cumbria is an excellent choice for accessories and sweaters alike. Today we're bringing you some inspired ideas for your holiday knits and some beautiful items to knit yourself this winter!

HUG HUG KISS KISS

Cindy's HHKK Cumbria shawl in White Heather, Blackbeck, Windermere + Helvellyn.

Cumbria is an excellent choice for snuggly, color-forward shawls! Here is Loop staffer Bonnie modeling Cindy's gorgeous Hug Hug Kiss Kiss, fresh off the needles from our Loop Fall Knitalong!

We've been having a blast with this year's project! This shawl, from designer Andrea Mowry ticks so many knit-worthy boxes: it's colorful, has textural interest with bobbles and crossed stitches, and it's infinitely wearable! Our KAL knitters have been so creative and inspiring, choosing beautiful colorway combinations (and making some unique pattern mods!) to create their own one-of-a-kind HHKK shawls!

Our KAL wraps up on November 20 with some fun prize drawings - click here to read all about it in our Ravelry group!

Want to knit your own HHKK shawl in Cumbria? Here's what you'll need:

5 skeins of Cumbria ( 2 for your main color + 1 skein each in 3 accent colors
US 8 40" circular needles
Hug Hug Kiss Kiss pattern

TONI CARDIGAN

Cumbria Toni cardigan in the colorway Windermere.

TONI CARDIGAN

Look closely, and you'll notice Bonnie is also modeling a stunning Cocoknits Toni cardigan, knit by Craig in Cumbria!

You won't believe how soft this fabric is! Cumbria's mohair content makes it seem as though a strand of mohair was "companion carried" along with a strand of Cumbria, but you're knitting with just one yarn! Notice how the yarn's Masham wool gives the color depth and dimension - such a stunningly rich and cozy fabric!

Toni is a size-inclusive design, and, like all Cocoknits patterns, it's super helpful and instructional at every step of the way!

To knit your own Toni cardigan, you'll need:

5-8 skeins of Cumbria, depending on your chosen size (shown in Windermere)
US 7 + US 6 + US 3 32" circular needles
Stitch markers
Toni cardigan pattern
