Hi! I'm Tara and I'm the Blonde Chicken behind all this yarn! You can read more about how I got this This week has been all about the hemp.
I got a ginormous wholesale order from a fiber artist, so I have been winding + dyeing for days.
(This is actually a giant pile of yarn I sold to someone at Starbucks last month. If you’re ever in town, shoot me an email and you get your own pile of yarn + coffee!)
This color (pumpkin) seems to be the most popular:
Emily is making a gorgeous Waves of Grain scarf:
(the free pattern is here, on Knitty). Emily is @emilyroots on Twitter is a new spinning convert, so go welcome her to the club!
And @fracksmom is making a cowl out of it.
(I’m pretty sure it’s not for her dog, he’s just modeling it!)
If you’re wondering what you might make with hemp laceweight, I’ve compiled a whole list of patterns and you’ll probably love the projects other knitters are making on Ravelry.
Oh, and if you want a little skein for yourself (it’s actually a huge skein: 625 yards/2 oz), you can get it right here.
