#fullyspun

The Phlegethon and Icescape Shawls and their respective colorways, Fire Dreamer and Ice Dreamer, were designed as part of a collaboration with Francoise Danoy of Aroha Knits for her Dreamer issue of her Fiber Muse quarterly magazine. These were the second and third patterns released using Fully Spun yarn, and are simple enough to allow the yarn to shine, but have fun edge details that show off your knitting skills.

The Phlegethon Shawl is a triangular shawl that is primarily garter stitch with a lace edging. One side of the lace is created while you knit the body of the shawl, and the other side is knit at the end. Both shawls were designed using 100g of Fingering Weight yarn, but would be easy to make larger if you prefer.

The Icescape Shawl is a crescent shaped shawl that also starts with a garter stitch construction. The lace edging for this shawl is added at the end, but knit perpendicular to the edge of the shawl. 

Want to create these shawls? They would look great in any of our currently available marled colorways, but the dreamiest colorway we have available is Cosmic. Cosmic was inspired by cosmic horror like The City We Became by NK Jemisin. It also has a touch of 90s throwback energy! It is available in the shop now!

The Kickstarter is live! Help crafting dreams come true by helping me Bring Marled Yarn Back! If the campaign is fully funded I'll be able to create 12 colorways of Fully Spun marled yarn that will be available online and at local yarn stores across the country!

Build it so good they'll say it had to be made by aliens... regular human over here, but I had to have evidence of an amount of POC Inclusive Pride skeins that I don't think I'll ever see again. A person who I grew up watching knit on TV, and whose book I'm pretty sure I got at the library to help teach myself, reached out and wanted to include my yarn in her subscription box for Pride Month. Talk about full circle! More details on that to come, but in the meantime I dyed a few extra and they are in the shop.

For me, the Pride Collection is a chance to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community where I have found myself, and found some of my closest friends. In a world that often doesn't leave space for us, we make space for ourselves and each other. The Pride Collection is available year-round, but I have dedicated May to making sure you have as much as you need for your Pride-themed craft projects.

Now through 5/22, or when space runs out, all existing Pride Collection colorways are available for preorder on Fingering and DK weight bases. Preorders will ship on 6/7.

If you don’t know, I started Fully Spun 5 years ago in an effort to create yarn that looks handspun, but is actually made at a mill and therefore more accessible than true handspun yarn. The yarn I created has multiple colors in each strand, and when made into a fabric creates striping gradients and an incredibly dynamic finished look. Check out this video to find out why the marled yarn means so much to me! Later this month, I will be hosting a Kickstarter to raise funds to bring this yarn back into the shop.
