Twinkle Soft Chunky is Back!

Oh, dear Twinkle, how we've missed you!


We are thrilled to have one of our favorite yarns back in stock, and with a gorgeous updated palette! Twinkle Soft Chunky is an extra-soft, super bulky merino yarn that knits up quick as a wink--which makes it the perfect choice for last minute, lux scarves to bundle up in mid-winter. It's also the perfect yarn for our Snowy Day Cowl pattern!

 
Come in and treat yourself to some Twinkle!

Julia is a crafting wonder woman! She does it all--knitting, sewing, quilting--and with super cute results.

Julia Slejko


1) What makes you want to be crafty?
I am working on a PhD, so knitting and sewing helps me get creative for my dissertation! I love knitting, sewing bags and am just starting to quilt.


2) Tell us about all your cute projects.

3) How did you learn how to do what you do?
My grandmother taught me everything I know! Continental-style knitting, crochet, sewing, even some pattern making. She just turned 88 on the 11th. Originally from Italy, she was a seamstress, pattern maker, and is amazingly talented. Now she supervises!


4) What is your favorite animal?
Monkeys

Thanks Julia! Happy crafting!
