TERRAZZO SWEATER IN HAUNUI SILK

Laura has completed her first sweater of 2023: the Terrazzo Sweater by PetiteKnit made in Noro Haunui Silk -- and it's an absolute stunner!

We received a shipment of Haunui Silk at the end of December, and it immediately called out to Laura. She wanted a timeless pullover with a modern aesthetic and a beautiful blank canvas to spotlight this yarn's incredible qualities. The result is a knitter's delight!

Haunui Silk is a single-ply, worsted-weight blend of raw mulberry silk and merino wool from the Taranui farm in New Zealand that uniquely emphasizes the natural beauty of its fiber content.

No two sheep are the exact same color, and this yarn's limited color palette reflects the sorting of natural fleece color variations into 5 shades spanning light, oatmeal, brown, gray, and black. 

Haunui Silk has a slightly thick and thin quality, and the rustic appeal of its blended merino is balanced by the silky, shiny pops of mulberry silk -- it's a true wool lover's delight and an ideal choice for signature sweater knitting!

The Terrazzo Sweater is knit from the top down with contiguous shoulder shaping, giving the look of a set-in sleeve, but it's actually knit all in one piece! An optional Italian bind-off and twisted rib detailing in the turtle neck, cuffs, and trim elevate this sweater with satisfying polish and panache.

Laura knit the medium size of this sweater exactly as the pattern called for, with 6 inches of positive ease, using about 3.5 skeins of Haunui Silk. She loves its comfortable fit and ideal weight for this time of year!

Her favorite part, though, is the finished fabric! There's a unique, one-of-a-kind quality to the rustic look of this merino blend and its gorgeous silk slubs. It's wooly but with a touch of luxury!

SAVE THE DATE: LIVERPOOL YARNS

Join us on February 18th from 12-4 PM for a trunk show with Erika Flory of Liverpool Yarns! Erika will be bringing her beautiful samples and yarns!

Liverpool Yarns is a small yarn company based right here in Philadelphia that produces 100% Shetland wool fingering weight yarns from wool sourced in Great Britain and spun in Pennsylvania. The yarns come in an array of colors that highlight natural sheep colors and a rainbow of dyed colors too. 

Can't make it on Saturday? Don't worry; Erika will leave her samples with us for the week!

WANTED: YARN FOR ACTION WELLNESS

Each fall, we knit hats for Action Wellness, a local organization that helps Philadelphians living with chronic illnesses gain access to the healthcare services they need. If you participated in 2022, thank you! We collected over 300 hats!

We've just heard from Action Wellness, and they are starting a knitting group for their clients. They hope we can supply yarn and needles to help them begin. So, of course, we said yes, and thought you might like to help!

We will also send along supplies, but if you have a skein or two lingering in your stash (don't we all!) or needles you no longer use, send them our way. We all know how much knitting helps us in our day-to-day lives, and it feels good to offer that sense of well-being to others!

Their first meeting is on February 10th, so let's see what we can do! Local friends, drop off your donations at the shop- if they are already in a ball, so much the better! If you're further afield and would like to help, you can mail your donations to the address below. Thanks so much!
