New Patterns, Projects, and Plans

February is an always an exciting time of year. Winter is still holding on, but there are hints of a return to Spring! We’d like to take the opportunity in this blog post to share new patterns that have been published in Kraemer Yarns, patterns from our friends, and plans for spring!

Free Accessory patternsNew to the forever free patterns page at KraemerYarns.com are the two items shown above. Winter winds still whip around so stay cozy with the Staggered Rib Chunky Cowl! It’s a quick knit with Perfection Chunky. The new hat pattern may be called the Autumn Hat, referencing the colorway used, but with the cute chevron pattern and your favorite colors of Naturally Nazareth, you’ll wear it as much as you can!

Socks and Hats in Kraemer Yarns

These patterns were recently published to Ravelry, and that’s where you can purchase them or add them to your library and queue. The Garden Trellis socks and Petal Quilt Socks are both by Clara Masessa in Kraemer Yarns Sterling Silk & Silver. Paula Herbert has been knitting hats for the Little Hats, Big Hearts campaign by the American Heart Association. She has made her pattern for newborn hats in Perfection Worsted and Perfection Chunky available as a free Ravelry download!

Mauch Chunky Spotlight

Meet Mauch Chunky

Mauch Chunky

 

Wool, as roving or spun yarn, has so many wonderful qualities and uses. In this blog post, we would like to spotlight Mauch Chunky, available as yarn and roving. We hope to inspire you to try a new project with this versatile fiber!

 

Fun for Felting!

The Gentle Arts Customer Project Felted Bag Needle Felted Octopus

Mauch Chunky was created with felters in mind. This is a yarn that felts easily and beautifully, so be sure to use it intentionally! As a roving it is an excellent choice for needle and wet felting. The Gentle Arts shop shared this customer project with us. Lourdes used Mauch Chunky yarn to knit the Colors of the Wind pattern. Then it was machine washed to felt the bag and the embellishment design was added with needle felting.  On Instagram, we spotted Traci’s needle felted octopus. We love seeing all these projects and encourage you to share them with us!

Chunky Knits are Warm Knits
