Rililie, from La maison Rililie, has reworked her Cocoon hat with our SoWool yarn. Cocoon is a perfectly simple and linear beanie fit for both men and women and originally worked in a thinner yarn using single and single broken rib (which by the way make the hat also reversible). This version in So Wool […]
Nanna is our pure wool and it’s primarly meant for babies (“nanna” means “nap” after all), but it’s actually a pretty versatile yarn with lots of possibilities. Nanna can be knitted to a pretty wide range of tensions, from 24 to about 18 sts to 10 cm. It’s light and wonderfully soft, with a smooth […]

Yet this grainy, textured stitch has lots of proprieties: it’s reversible, lies flat and doesn’t curl and therefore it’s a perfect stitch for a scarf. Especially for a beginner’s scarf, since this stitch […]
