First up is Speckled Sheep by Jody Long, a super bulky, unbeatably soft yarn spun from 100% fine superwash virgin Merino wool. Each 100g skein delivers a generous 164 yards of chunky-weight coziness, perfect for statement-making scarves, hats, sweaters, and blankets. The speckles steal the show with this one—playful pops of color scattered across a creamy base create a painterly effect that feels both handcrafted and contemporary.

Cathy used Speckled Sheep to knit the Cliveden hat, a free pattern by Courtney Kelley. Doesn’t it show off this yarn perfectly?

Shimmer by Ella Rae is a lace-weight beauty that delivers an irresistible halo and graceful drape that feels like a whisper against the skin. With a generous 546 yards per 50g skein, Shimmer is spun for elegance in motion—ideal for featherlight shawls, ethereal wraps, or standout accents. Tiny sequins are scattered throughout like stardust, catching the light with every turn and adding a subtle sparkle that elevates your work from simple to spellbinding. No matter the project, Shimmer brings a dreamy sophistication to your work.

We can’t wait to work with this one and think it would be perfect for holiday makes or to add a little glam and ‘Shimmer’ to winter accessories.
