New BT Imbue & an Autumn Sweater KAL!
Sep 2nd 2023
Brooklyn Tweed just released the latest addition to their yarn collection: Meet Imbue!
Imbue Worsted’s heathered colorways are blended from an assortment of fleece-dyed solid colors, creating richly complex shades that harmonize beautifully in colorwork and stripes. In a round and springy 5-ply worsted weight, Imbue Worsted is an ideal choice for soft and cozy sweaters, accessories, and blankets.
The launch of this stunning yarn is accompanied by 2 new patterns, the Woven Roots Hat and Scarf! We will be including a complimentary copy of the patterns with your purchase of enough Imbue to make them; see below for yarn requirements:

Summer is coming to an end, and we're just itching to get wool back on our needles. That being said, we'd love to invite you to join us for our first Annual Autumn Sweater Knit-a-long!
We'll be knitting the Basic V, a stylish raglan pullover with a wide neckline and relaxed fit. We think this worsted weight sweater designed by Minimi Knit Design will be our go-to staple for the season (who knows, we might even knit a few!). Take a peek at the graphic above for some yarn suggestions from our staff, or scroll further down to see our top yarn pick for this project.
Our cast-on party will be in-store on Sunday, September 10th, at 4pm. Even if you're not local, you can still participate online! We'll be posting lots of updates on Instagram and our Websters Makers’ FB Group - and we’d love to see your progress, so don't forget to tag us. This knit-a-long will run until November 5th, so you'll have plenty of time to order yarn and get knitting.

Sarah will be hosting our Autumn Sweater KAL, and she's going to be casting on using JMF Santa Cruz. "When it comes to knitting sweaters I love a bouncy, non-superwash wool with a slightly rustic hand. Santa Cruz just landed on our shelves and seems perfect for this project."
This worsted weight yarn is spun from organic merino wool that is humanely grown in Argentina. You'll feel good knitting and crocheting with it knowing it has certifications from Global Organic Textiles Standard (GOTS) and Confidence in Textiles. This beautiful yarn is currently available in 16 heathered and solid colors, providing you with lots of options for your Basic V sweater.
