Knitting Knowledge

Need a quick project that’s fun, cozy, and cute? The Hot Mess Headband is a free pattern that uses just one skein of worsted yarn — and it’s so easy to knit!

What is superwash yarn—and is it really machine washable? In this post, I explain what makes superwash yarn so unique, how it’s made, and why it’s often paired with soft merino wool. Plus, I share the results of my swatch experiment: one skein blocked, one washed and dried five times. (Spoiler: it held up beautifully!) Learn why I chose superwash merino for Ewe Ewe Yarns and how to use it in your own knitting.

Think nylon is a must-have for sock yarns? Think again. Discover why 100% superwash merino wool—like our Fluffy Fingering—can create soft, durable, plastic-free socks that stand the test of time.

Looking for a quick, satisfying knit you’ll actually wear? Let me introduce you to the One Day Top!
