The Wandering Flock is Here!

Jul 28th 2026

Fun Fact: We have between 250-300 types of yarn in the shop at any given time, but there is ALWAYS more yarn we think we NEED! Case in point, we have been on the wait list for The Wandering Flock yarns for years... and now, finally, we have Cotton Lino in the shop!

Cotton Lino is the summer yarn of our dreams. It is a plant forward yarn with a touch of animal fiber for breathable garments that have a luxurious hand feel.
Cotton and linen are the heroes of this 4ply blend, giving your garment both structure and lightness. The alpaca lends a softness that's delightful to wear and amazing on your hands. The silk is there for extra luxurious drape and strength. Because of the combination of animal and plant fibers in this yarn, it’s suitable for fingering weight through DK weight projects, though we always recommend swatching first.
