August Gauge Yarn + Pattern Club
Three images showcasing the colour palette options for our club, left to right:
Mint: a sprig of green plants tied with jute; Driftwood: a gnarled branch; Peony, a white vase with pink, orange, and magenta flowers.
Today’s the day! Signups are now open for the August instalment of the Gauge Dye Works Summer Yarn + Pattern Club.
The pattern and yarn are a secret, but we put together three colour palettes for you to choose from: Peony (pinks and oranges), Mint (greens and teals), or Driftwood (greys and beiges).
August's project will be a one-skein neck accessory in fingering weight wool.
Club subscriptions are for one month.
You will receive one pdf knitting pattern and one skein of yarn.
For anyone who wants to knit together, we will host an informal knit-along.
Yarn will ship mid-August.
Cost for the club is $48 CAD (approximately $36 USD) plus shipping.

Hardy enough for adventuring yet pretty enough for lounging, Saxe Point will be a lovely addition to your sock collection. The socks are worked toe-up with an afterthought heel and shaped leg, with a colourwork cuff to top it all off. I designed this pattern in collaboration with Catherine of Gauge Dye Works. She took colour inspiration from one of my photos of Vancouver Island’s rocky seashore, and together we created a yarn designed to create a wonderful knitting experience — along with the perfect pattern to show it off. The self-striping yarn makes colours appear on your needles as if by magic. I have included instructions for creating the same effect by substituting yarn.
The pattern now includes the bonus “Twinkle” chart for some holiday cheer!
The yarn designed especially for this pattern is from Gauge Dye Works.
Full Spectrum is a clever reversible hat with fetching stripes on one side and pleasing geometric colourwork on the other. It’s worked from the crown of one side, through the brim, and to the crown of the other, so that the whole doubled hat is worked in one piece. It was designed in collaboration with Gauge Dye Works - their self-striping yarn makes this an addicting and enjoyable knit!
The yarn designed for this pattern is available in three colourways from Gauge Dye Works.
There’s also a cheery Twinkle colourway! You can get the colour-blocked version for the toque (it would also be great for the Botanical Sampler cowl) or the multi-striped version for the Saxe Point socks.
A flowing gradient splashed with short row “leaves” turns this semi-circular pi shawl into a stunning statement piece — and the perfect wrap for your outdoor adventures. And the best part? It’s worked in a unique self-striping yarn that shifts and blends, with golden sections appearing as you knit to tell you when to work each Leaf. It’s addictively mesmerising! I worked closely with Catherine of Gauge Dye Works to design this special shawl. It was an unusual collaboration, in that the yarn colourway and the pattern were developed in tandem to create a knitting experience that’s fun, engaging, and reflects the beauty of the great outdoors. Instructions are included for substituting a non-striping yarn.
