Sandcastle is a colorful blend of 46% cotton, 43% linen, and 11% silk, making this a great choice for crafting summery garments or market bags for your trip to the local farmer’s market! The color changes are complimentary and and can be dressed up or down.
The Rivage Stole uses two colors of Sandcastle, and as you can see, this accessory certainly is a statement piece! For our crochet audience, we have the chic Mimic Top. The side-to-side direction of the lacework allows the color changes to be more striking and dynamic.
Have you ever wanted to experience joy in a ball of yarn? Tango is the perfect choice! With swirls of cotton color and little puffs of polyamide fluff, this yarn will make you smile with every stitch.

There’s something truly mesmerizing about circular knitted throws—they radiate warmth, symmetry, and endless charm. When paired with a self-striping yarn like Deluxe Stripes, the results are nothing short of magical!
Circular throws add a unique visual appeal compared to traditional square or rectangular blankets. They drape beautifully over furniture, make perfect statement pieces for cozy nooks, and work wonderfully as lap blankets or decorative accents.

Hi Crafters! As you gear up for the start of the spring season, we’re releasing one of my designs free this weekend only which will be a great outfit topper for transitional weather. It was also the first pattern I ever designed for Universal Yarn!
The Illuvia Shawl is inspired by the way water falls on various surfaces. From rain showers to gentle melting snowfall, I wanted this shawl to feel soothing and therapeutic to knit, changing from one section to the next. Knitting is already relaxing, and working on a project while curled up on the couch on a rainy day is even better!
Knitting the Illuvia Shawl allows you to try out a selection of textured stitch patterns in different colors. You’ll get to work with slip stitches, twisted stitches, and many knits and purls throughout this project. This shawl is a great pattern choice for beginner knitters looking to grow their skillset, or experienced crafters who enjoy sampler-style projects.
Our Wool Pop yarn is a soft and springy DK weight blend of superwash wool, bamboo, and polyamide. It has excellent stitch definition and a subtle sheen that looks gorgeous in textured stitch patterns. This yarn is a great choice for three-season wear, thanks to the blend of fibers. Rico Design Lazy Hazy Summer Cotton provides pops of color and texture to some of the details in this accessory, and has become a fast-favorite yarn of our own design team.
Now through Sunday, March 2, you can enjoy both of these beautiful yarns at 20% off!
I hope you enjoy knitting the Illuvia Shawl, and please share your projects with me on Ravelry!
