| Piles of Pashmina, NEW della Q, & a Lucky Poncho! Try Your Luck with a Circular Needlecase! | | |
What's a party without some games?! Pin the tail on the donkey? Musical chairs? A three-legged race?! No matter your age, there is always fun to be had bringing out your inner child playing some classic party games with your closest friends!

At a trade show nearly 20 years ago, our founder and CEO, Laura, first met Kit Hutchin, founder of Churchmouse Yarns & Teas! Despite their differences (Laura loves to venture outdoors and Kit would rather stay in; Laura has a spontaneous and quick nature while Kit would call herself an overthinker), the two became fast friends!
To help let the good times roll, we asked Kit and her team at Churchmouse to help us celebrate our big 20th birthday! And boy did they deliver, with a celebratory riff on one of their most popular patterns, the 'Easy Folded Poncho,' but in Jimmy Beans fashion!

Jimmy's Lucky Poncho is their beloved pattern revamped with the color wheel of our logo, plus a party game twist! Knit out of the sumptuous Rowan Felted Tweed, the colorful stripes on this poncho are determined randomly by a roll of the dice.
To play the game, label each skein 2 through 12 (with one color repeating) and then roll the dice included with this kit to determine which color you will work with. Roll a second time to determine the amount of rows for that color and repeat the game. Your completed poncho will be unique to you, so make sure to take a picture and share your one-of-a-kind piece with us on social!

At the beginning of the year we all started with the best intentions to be more organized and keep our project bags tidy. Well...we are now three months into the year and we've all found ourselves dumping out our project bags once or twice to find the needle we've been searching for.
Spring is on its way, which means organizing season is upon us! Something we always seem to struggle with is figuring out the best way to organize our circular needles. Of course della Q has you covered with the brand new Maker's Circular Needlecase!
|
This carryall needlecase makes it simple to store all of your circular needles in the right place and help keep your project bags in order! The eleven separate pockets can fit any size circular needles and the accordion-style design can put away all of your needles condensed in one spot. You can also stash your needles how you like it organized with the included blank stickers!
Made out of durable canvas with faux leather and brass accents, the zip closure keeps your needles secure and in place.The faux leather handle makes it easy to grab and go! These cases are currently available for pre-order in our favorite della Q canvas colors: Indigo, Maroon, Orange, Plum, and Sage. Orders will ship in April, just in time for your spring cleaning needs!

Passionate about Pashmina!
Ready to spring into some new projects?! It's the bizarre time of year where one day it pours down rain, while the next the sun is shining and the birds are singing. It's hard to keep up with the weather sometimes and we just want spring to hurry up and get here!
We've dubbed the luxurious and ultra-soft Madelinetosh Pashmina as our go-to yarn as we get ready for the changing of the seasons. With strands that are springy like the season and delicate like a freshly bloomed flower petal, we are ready to work up the most exquisite and colorful projects!
This sport-weight yarn is crafted out of 75% Merino wool, 15% silk, and 10% cashmere which results in the most delightful drape perfect for your favorite shawl and scarf patterns! Available in the widest array of colorways, each of these silky skeins are hand-dyed by the artisans at Madelinetosh, making each skein a one-of-a-kind work of art!
Because this yarn is dyed by hand in small batches, when you order two or more skeins of Madelinetosh yarns, our warehouse color wizards visually match them to make your next project as seamless as possible!

Project On Our Needles!
Madelinetosh Spirit Tee
Lightweight and easy to wear, this short sleeve pullover designed by Lisa Renner is the perfect project to wear year-round! By using the summer-friendly Wool + Cotton yarn by Madelinetosh, this garment can be worn as a standard tee in the summer and easily layered in the colder months! The simple design keeps this piece modern while the texture keeps it interesting. The Spirit Tee is knit up in the color Plain Cake, an exclusive hue from the Madelinetosh x Alabama Chanin collab, which isn't available for purchase (sadly!). But our color wizards say Madelinetosh's colorway, Antique Lace, is a great color sub!
