While we have beautiful yarn from all over the world, the My Sister Knits staff treasures yarn that is made in the United States.

My Sister Knits presents the softest, warmest, prettiest cowl ever! In addition, it is quick to knit and a perfect gift! Carol had this on the other day and I immediately fell in love.

Just in! Dreamy Tibetan Cloud from mYak! We love yarns with a good story and this one doesn’t disappoint.

Peace Fleece yarn is a story of how two people sought to promote peace and understanding between historic enemies.

Recently I came across a Very Pink YouTube video that is titled “Skein, Ball, Hank, Cake”. I was immediately interested because I wasn’t sure of the difference between a skein and a hank. Now I know and I’ll pass that along to you!

My Sister Knits is hosting a trunk show of Trilogy Yarns! Some trunk shows are samples of items knit with a certain yarn. Others have unique yarn that can be purchased. This is the latter kind! The yarn we have will be available to snap up for your own until it’s time to send it all back.

Polka Dot Sheep yarn is now displayed on the My Sister Knits ‘New Wall’! Turn to the left as soon as you enter the shop and you can’t miss it!

We have two yarn bases, Super G and Rime. A yarn base consists of two parts: the weight of the yarn and the fiber/s that the yarn is made of. Independent dyers choose the base fiber they like and then work their color magic with their dyes.

My Sister Knits has a new addition to our thoughtfully selected yarns! This yarn has all of us oohing and aahing over it. We often stop when we’re passing it and let our eyes skim the remarkable colorways, trying to decide our favorite.

Each week I have an idea of the subject of the blog post. Sometimes I tweak it when I walk into the shop to take photos. This week, as soon as I walked into My Sister Knits, I was totally smitten with a pillow that I saw on the table and knew I had to write about it.

A [Happy] Hat is just the thing to use up some of your leftover fingering weight yarn! Melissa Schoenwether designed it and used bulky weight yarn the first time she knit it.

Kelsey Stephens, owner of Primrose Yarn Company, has come up with a brilliant idea! Her new yarn, Roan, is a combination of 60% superwash yarn and 40% non-superwash wool.

The crocuses are coming up in the garden at My Sister Knits! Spring brings happy colors and visions of evenings on the patio or deck when a light wrap might be needed.

A search of the shop shows an abundance of joyful spring colors in lightweight yarns. We have solids, tonals, variegated, and speckles to suit every taste.

The beginning of a new year often brings about contemplation of what the next 12 months will look like. This applies to our knitting also.

At this time of year, at the end of the holidays, we tend to want to complete a project just to feel a sense of accomplishment. We want it to be something quick and not too complicated. Our brains are tired after the hubbub of celebrating and we want something soothing.

Are you in a rut with your yarn choices? Do you often, if not always, choose a certain type and certain colors? Are you someone who adores knitting with fingering weight speckled yarns? Or are more rustic yarns the ones you reach for? How about preferring only the softest of the soft?

Recollect is a plied sport weight yarn that is 100% Rambouillet. Most Rambouillet is white but Farmer’s Daughter’s is 75% white and 25% black. The unusual, hard to find combination of colors creates a gray base resulting in colors that are delightfully rich and rustic.

Wing and a Prayer Farm is a glorious, magical place! When driving down the lane you first see the imposing red and white barn and around it are the animals: sheep, alpacas, angora goats, miniature donkeys, horses, chickens, ducks, and turkeys.

Wooly Blooms Tipless Gloves are definitely something you should give serious thought to making this summer!

First, they are a small portable project that won’t take up lap space and make you hot!

Second, they look like they are so much fun to make! Each pair is unique and can be personalized by the knitter.

A skein or two of Clinton Hill Cashmere yarn is an indulgence that you will treasure for years to come!

Getting cashmere off of the goat and onto your needles is quite a process and involves a world-wide trip. The term ‘cashmere’ indicates the downy underfiber that goats generate as insulation in the winter. Then they shed it in the summer. Cashmere does not mean a certain breed of goat!

We would like to introduce you to Chicken Coop Dyeworks yarn! New at My Sister Knits this week, you will find it featured on our renovated wall to the left as you enter the shop! We are busily creating samples of this fun yarn so you can see and feel it knit into a project.
