I love this Botanical Beach hat from one of my testers, @miriam_soulanna. She knit it in @northlightfibers Atlantic & had enough leftover to make another with the colours inverted. 🌊🌊🌊 . . Wanna go stash diving for your own hat? I wrote a blog post with tons of suggestions for other yarns that could work for Botanical Beach.

Sun and Moon is the first pattern in this summer’s @gaugedyeworks Yarn + Pattern club!

#swatchaweek: @tukuwool Sock is so woolly & crunchy. Knit up, the fabric is incredibly spongy & I’m gonna admit I would not have been able to tell by feel that it’s got nylon. Since I was really interested in knitting socks with it (and I did! I made a pair of @dreareneeknits Vinr socks - I’ll show them off soon) I knit my swatch on little needles, 2.5 mm (between a US 1 & 2). My blocked gauge is 30 sts/40 rows = 4”/10 cm. It’s sturdy with no drape, which is what I was going for. It’s so hard to show off these really dark yarns, but I’m super pleased with the character. Swipe for swatch pictures & a video. . . Tukuwool is grown & manufactured in Finland & is a blend of Finnish wool & Finnish-Texel crossbreed, which I find especially fun since I got to visit Texel in the Netherlands a few years ago. The Sock base has 20% nylon for durability. . . I bought two skeins at @knitcityvancouver last year. . . 🌿 #swatchproject #swatch #wool #tukuwool #tukuwoolsock #
Today’s the last day for newsletter subscribers to get the introductory discount for Botanical Beach. 🌊💛Check your inbox for today’s letter for the code. 😘 . .

I made a super woolly Botanical Beach hat with some wonderful leftover @daughterofashepherd Ram Jam. (I knit my Dissent pullover in it.) I love how lofty it is! It’s basically the opposite of the @myak_us Baby Yak Medium I used for my original sample, but I love them both. . . Botanical Beach is a great quick weekend project to use up those extra skeins you’ve got left over from sweater knitting! . . I’m about to send out a newsletter with a discount code, so sign up now if you want it. 😉 Link in profile 👉 . . PS. I think my moon phases earrings are a perfect match. 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑 (Though if you’re Canadian, you might also be seeing the CBC logo like @emcread did. 😄🇨🇦) . . 🌿 🌿 #botanicalbeachhat #andrearangelknits #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #strandedknitting #colorworkknitting #daughterofashepherd #wool
