Collection Spotlight: Deluxe Men 2.0

Happy Friday, crafters! Here’s one for the fellas. With just enough time before the holidays to whip up a fabulous handmade gift for him, we are delighted to introduce the Deluxe Men 2.0 mini collection by Rachel Brockman, knit in our Deluxe Family yarns. Tailored lines meet contemporary details in three dapper pieces featuring rich texture, bold cables, and playful colorwork.

Costanza brings vintage sitcom charm to your needles in the form of a polished and preppy v-neck pullover. Intricate braided cables are the stars of this stylish sweater, with striped trim adding a sporty pop of color. Our Deluxe Worsted Superwash yarn makes for an easy-care piece that layers beautifully over a tee or collared shirt, and is soft enough to wear on its own.

Wrap up in a symphony of texture with the Erie scarf. Slipped stitch cables and garter ridges float across this oversized accessory, accented with fringe along each end for a classic look. Deluxe Worsted Tweed Superwash makes this piece sing with visual and tactile appeal, adding softness, comfort, and a handsome sprinkling of tweedy flecks.

No winter wardrobe is complete without a traditional colorwork sweater, and Foliose is the one to choose. Cozy and relaxed, this yoke pullover features a striking diamond motif in a trio of cool winter shades. Knit in Deluxe Worsted, this piece boasts crisp stitch definition and insulating warmth, perfect for outdoor adventures, après-ski, or lounging at home.

Each pattern is available for individual purchase on Ravelry, or you can snag ’em all and save with our Deluxe Men 2.0 e-book. And don’t forget the yarn! Enjoy 15% off the entire Deluxe Family, now through Sunday, November 23.

Happy knitting!
