Temperature Tee Yarn Kit
Is this right for me?
Level 1–2 · First Stitches to Finding Your Rhythm
“I can knit and purl, and I'm still looking things up.” or “I've finished a few hats or cowls and can read my knitting.”
New in this project: Knitting a garment from two simple rectangles, with simple knits and purls, and choosing your size and target gauge.
If you get stuck: Read the Temperature Tee blog post, browse our Knitting Knowledge tutorials, ask in the Secret Society of Knitters community, or email Heather.
Knit with Ewe So Sporty merino yarn, the Temperature Tee is as easy to knit as it is to wear. Two simple rectangles turn into an adorable top with a gently rolled cap sleeve.
Pair it with a tank in warmer weather or tuck it under a jacket in the fall and winter. You’ll love your Temperature Tee!
Paper pattern included with kit purchase.

Questions you might have
What's in the kit?
You'll get 2 to 6 skeins of Ewe So Sporty in the color you choose, depending on the size you pick, plus a printed copy of the Temperature Tee pattern. Needles (US 10, 24–32” circular), a tapestry needle, and blocking pins or wires aren't included.
I can't find my pattern. What should I do?
A printed copy of the pattern is packed in your kit. The pattern is also free on the Temperature Tee pattern page. If anything seems to be missing, email hello@eweewe.com with your order number and I'll send it right over.
Is this kit right for me?
This is a Level 1–2 project. It's worked from simple knits and purls, so if you can knit and purl you have what you need. If you've finished a few hats or cowls and can read your knitting, you'll feel right at home. The pattern includes notes about target gauge, and our Temperature Tee blog post walks through the project. If you get stuck, our Knitting Knowledge tutorials and the Secret Society of Knitters community are here to help, or you can email me.
How do I choose my size?
Choose a size using your chest measurement and the finished measurements listed above. The pattern includes child, youth, and adult sizes, and the kit's yarn amount changes with the size you choose. If you're unsure, email me and I'll help you pick.
Will the color look like the photo?
Screens vary, so a color can look a little different in person. If you're unsure about a shade, email me before you order and I'll help you choose.
Should I order extra yarn?
The kit has the amount of yarn the pattern calls for. If you'd like to add length, it's better to order extra now. Dye lots vary from batch to batch, and I can't always match a specific lot later.
How do I care for my finished tee?
My main recommendation is to soak your finished tee in Soak Wash or another wool wash and block it, because blocking is where the stitches bloom. The yarn is also machine washable (inside out in cool water) and can tumble dry low, so everyday care is easy. All of our yarns are 100% fine superwash merino wool from Australia, spun and dyed in Italy.
How soon will my order ship, and what does it cost?
I pack and ship orders within one business day, six days a week including Saturday mornings. They go out by USPS Ground Advantage from Oceanside, California, so delivery time depends on USPS and where you live. Shipping is free on US orders over $75 and $5 on smaller US orders, and you'll get a tracking email when your order is on its way.
Can I return my yarn?
Unused items in their original condition can be returned within 30 days of receiving them. Email hello@eweewe.com with your name and order number and I'll take care of you. If something arrives damaged or isn't what you ordered, let me know right away and I'll make it right.
Let customers speak for us
Making for Halloween. The colors pop. The yarn feels so soft.
An oops. Plus usually when I buy EWE EWE bundles the pattern is included, not this time.
this Wooly Worsted MerinoYarn is beautiful and extremely soft to the touch. The color is rich and true and will make an amazing looking sweater. I can’t wait to start using this yarn then actually wearing it. I highly recommend this yarn from Ewe Ewe Yarns!
Where is the link to download the hat
The yarn is wonderful and customer service is top notch.
There will be knots in some skeins which is normal. I don't know if this will pill or not until it's knit into something but it's the nature of Merino to do so but that doesn't bother me. I only needed 3 skeins but the price was so good that I bought 5. It's super soft like you would expect and the proper thickness for a fingering sock weight. I split the skeins into (6) 56 to 58 gram skeins and dyed up 5. They took the dye nicely and I am pleased with my results. My yarn was packaged well/nicely and shipped VERY quickly and arrived at my doorstep safe and sound. I would purchase this again.
I ordered the baa bag bulky for my hat pattern, that I also bought from Eye eye yarns. I love this yarn !! It is so nice to work with. It is also soo soft!
I really like the pattern. Beautiful!
I love these little scissors. They fit perfectly with all of my other knitting accessories in my tote and they even have their own case. They are sharp and easy to use!
I am blown away by the feel and quality of this yarn at such a Great price!!!
Love this yarn. Sooo soft and the color is beautiful
Temperature Tee Yarn Kit
I’ve been waiting for the perfect yarn to start on my new wearable and the perfect pattern to do it with. Ewe Ewe has provided both. Not to mention the care and thoughtfulness of Heather, the owner , which makes it all the more fabulous!
I was open, when I ordered more yarn, to receive a different dye lot. I just figured for this children’s sweater I could make it work. Imagine my delight when I received the same dye lot! And quickly! I’m charged and almost finished!
I absolutely love this yarn. I had to buy more to make a hat and scarf!
