  • Cloudesley Along. Thanks to a very awesome discussion during the Must Love Yarn virtual knit group, we are hosting a knit along for the Cloudesley Pattern.
    • Come join us for this KAL. It will start on Friday, April 10, 2020 so there is plenty of time to check your stash or order some yarn from Must Love Yarn. A WIP will be allowed if you are just so excited and can’t wait until Friday.
    • The KAL will run to approximately June 15, 2020.
    • Some suggestions for yarn (Note pattern calls for fingering weight yarn, some of our suggestions are for sport or DK weight yarn, please check your gauge if you are substituting a different yarn weight):

Hikoo CoBaSi (both fingering, DK, and DK Tonals)

Legacy Fiber Artz Slub-a-Dub

Quince & Co Sparrow

Quince & Co Tern

Elsebeth Lavold Hempathy (sport)

Berroco Quinoa (DK)

Berroco Remix Light (DK)

Berroco Summer Silk (DK)

Juniper Moon Farms Zooey (DK)

Lana Grossa Linea Pura Solo Lina (DK)

There are of course many other yarn options (even so many more available in the online store). These are mostly summer type yarns.
