In honor of the Summer Games, beginning in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on August 5th, Lorna's has created a stunning colorway this month! Rio is a vibrant mix of greens and yellows with just a touch of blue, in tribute to the colors of the city and of Carnival - it just screams celebration! This limited-run colorway is available in Shepherd Sock, Shepherd Sport, and Shepherd Worsted, but only until the Games are over, so reserve your pre-ordered skeins right away! To sweeten the deal, we're having a bit of fun with the price: for every Gold medal won by the United States, we'll drop the price of each skein by 5 cents; for each Silver medal, we'll drop it by 3 cents; and for each Bronze, by 1 penny! Don't worry: no matter when you place your order, you'll get the lowest price - so don't wait until the last minute to order! Then, sit back and wait for your yarn to arrive, and enjoy your prize! |

Want to know our favorite kind of knitting? The learning kind! Working a pattern that teaches us a new skill is energizing - once we master it, we feel like we can tackle anything!
Recently, Laura needed a bit of a refresher on how to double-knit, so our resident knit-xpert, Terry, showed her the ropes.
Even a long-time knitter can learn new skills, so check out the video of their lesson and let us know in the comments if you have any tips or tricks to add!
Ready to try your hand? Check out one of these fun patterns that feature the double-knitting technique!

| The Otono Shawl from the Juniper Moon Farm Garden Collection just feels like fall - hey, the name even means "autumn"! Three colors of new Herriot Fine, a deliciously soft lace-weight blend of alpaca with just a touch of nylon for strength, blend together into a light and lacy knit in shades that will give those fall colors a run for their money! And, best of all, this kit is 30% off all month long! |
