April’s Spotlight Friday – Beechnut Pullover

Happy Friday, crafters! Today’s spotlight features the Beechnut Pullover, designed by Amy Gunderson.

As the seasons shift, the Beechnut Pullover emerges as a quintessential piece for your transitional wardrobe. This elegant sweater captures the essence of beech trees, featuring intricate lace panels along the sleeves that mirror the delicate beauty of leaves.

What sets the Beechnut Pullover apart is its innovative construction. The journey begins with knitting the lace sleeve panels, allowing you to immerse yourself in the detailed leaf motifs. Once completed, stitches for the body and sleeves are picked up along the panel edges, and the garment is worked from the top down. 

Originally crafted using Papyrus, the pattern has been updated to feature Wool Pop. This DK-weight yarn, composed of 50% bamboo, 35% superwash wool, and 15% polyamide, offers a soft drape and subtle sheen, enhancing the pullover’s refined appearance.

Take advantage of a 20% discount on Wool Pop through Sunday, April 20th, and stock up on your favorite color of this delightful yarn.

Keep on crafting on,

Afifa

Flash Pattern Friday – Illuvia Shawl

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 a sampler-style shawl knit using Universal Yarn Wool Pop and Rico Design Creative Lazy Hazy Summer Cotton. I originally designed this shawl in 2019 as part of our Dona Color Kits, but we reimagined it with new yarns and a new vibrant colorway in 2023. I absolutely adore this new version!

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!

Happy Crafting,

Aubrey

Free Pattern Friday – Wind and Waves Top

Happy Free Pattern Friday, crafters! This week, we’re dreaming of sunny days and seaside getaways, so we’re sharing a perfect pattern to cast on now and have ready in time for the summer season or your next beach vacation. Previously an LYS exclusive, the Wind and Waves Top by Yonca Ozbelli is now available as a free pattern for you to enjoy!

Like watching waves lap the shore, you’ll be captivated by the meditative undulating lace pattern in stripes of oceanic blues. And you’ll stay cool and comfortable in our luxuriously soft Cotton Supreme yarn, an excellent choice for warm weather knitting. Ideal for styling with a pair of shorts or your favorite skirt, you’ll be reaching for the Wind and Waves Top all summer long.

Knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom up and featuring a simple boxy construction, this easy-breezy tee is an approachable and entertaining project for knitters of all skill levels. Dive in and be delighted by all this gorgeous design has to offer!

Made of 100% cotton, Cotton Supreme is a smooth and sumptuous worsted-weight yarn that works up beautifully in a palette of vibrant shades. This buttery-soft yarn gets even softer with each wash (that’s right, it’s machine washable and dryable!), making it a perfect pick for next-to-skin garments and accessories for adults and children alike.

To celebrate 2025 and the release of the Wind and Waves Top, our Cotton Supreme family of yarns is 25% off this weekend! Get a head start on your summer wardrobe and save on Cotton Supreme, Cotton Supreme Speckles, and Cotton Supreme Waves, now through Sunday, January 12th!

Happy knitting!

Free Pattern Friday – Frosted Leaves Wrap

Header Image showing the Frosted Leaves Wrap and Wool Pop Yarn

Hello and Happy Holidays, crafters! We hope you’ve enjoyed some quality time with your family or friends this holiday season, and also had time for your favorite fiber arts!

This week, our Free Pattern Friday release is the Frosted Leaves Wrap, designed by Andi Javori. Knit using Wool Pop, this lacy wrap will be a beautiful addition to any winter ensemble! Keep reading below to learn more about this stunning pattern.

The Frosted Leaves wrap is knit flat from the bottom up and features a lace stitch pattern worked on the main body of the piece. If you’re not an expert with lace, don’t fret! This pattern is a 13-stitch repeat that is fairly easy to memorize and uses only basic increases and decreases. The resulting pattern is reminiscent of pretty snow covered leaves, hence the name!

Our Wool Pop yarn was chosen for this project, thanks to its graceful drape and sheen. This DK-weight blend of bamboo, wool, and polyamide looks gorgeous in lace and other textured stitch patterns. Thanks to Wool Pop’s fiber blend, it’s suitable to wear year-round!

Designer Andi Javori chose the color 619 Blue Whisper for this project sample, which I think is a perfect icy winter blue. Which color would you choose to knit the Frosted Leaves Wrap in? I think I’d choose 627 Empress, because I love wearing purple.

We hope you enjoy knitting the new free Frosted Leaves Wrap! Don’t forget that Wool Pop is 20% off this weekend only to coincide with this pattern release, so you can grab the yarn you need at a discount!

Happy Holiday Crafting,

Aubrey
