Snoods appeared one day in the knittingverse and it looks like they’re here to stay. They’re perfect if you can’t stand scarf ends going here and there and being bulky under our coat. Feltro snood is made with 3 skeins of our Feltro. It has a 70 cm circumference, but you can make it longer […]
Valentina Cosciani, the emerging independent Italian designer, fell in love with our cachemire and created the pattern Lujanta for our Luxor yarn. Lujanta is an oversize sweater in 7 sizes (from XS to 3X), sporting a deep V neck. The construction is top-down and seamless. Lujanta comes from the newest Valentina Cosciani collection “Monti Pallidi”, […]
Italian designer Emma Fassio recently undertook a short trip to Sweden where her moter was born, and this shawl is what she came back with: a delicious, geometric shawl that blends a more traditional elongate triangular shape with a striped effect produced by the use of short rows. Deceptively linear, the shawl is worked fully […]
Probably there is no accessory as iconic of knitting as a pompom topped beanie. Ours is knitted in super lofty SoCashmere, the perfect yarn for the coldest days of winter, which gives an extraordinary softness and lightness. The border’s thick ribs and the fat pompom topping the hat are knitted in a contrasting color, adding […]
Our fantastically soft SoWool lends itself beautifully to cable knitting, as is shown clearly in this lovely pattern. The “OXO headband” is a quick and interesting knit that uses only one ball of Lanecardate HandKnitting SoWool, an ultrasoft chunky 100% wool with a wonderfully soft feel. Should you prefer an even more precious yarn, you […]

We know… it’s summer, the weather is warm and we don’t feel much like wool right now. But if our holidays will bring us on a lake, or in the North, or somewhere on a mountain, we will bring with us a woolen lace shawl for the evening, or we will bring some Lamora Lace […]
Not even a yard of our precious cashmere yarn Luxor has to be wasted. This is likely what pushed DeDitte to use up two leftover Luxor balls in a bright red to add interest to her Faroese shawl (a shawl created in the peculiar shape used in the Fær Øer islands). The red stripes in this […]
If you are looking for something quick and sweet to knit this week-end we suggest you get a couple of balls of our lovely Lamora and give a try to Valentina Cosciani‘s new hat for men and women The five towers, enterely done in the round and with a simple knit and purl motif. This […]
Maria Modeo recently published Expo 1889, her knitting pattern inspired to the Eiffel Tower and Paris Great Exhibiton. At the moment the pattern is available in Italian only. The yarn used for the pattern is our Donegal, a pure, slightly felted, wool. It meets the favour of both women and men because of its tweed, […]
