Elle Decor - Amsterdam

We're not really ones to toot our own horns ... well, maybe a little - but we're extremely proud have a photo of the Otherist in ELLE DECOR's June 2012 feature on Amsterdam!!  There's not much in the way of text about us- well, almost nothing to be precise... but we're in pretty good company - rubbing shoulders with the likes of DROOG, the Dylan and Frozen Fountain... 

and you know what they say: a picture is worth a thousand words :)

Special thanks to Kyla Hancock of Kyla Elaine Photography for taking some terrific shots!

Manos Del Uruguay... Silk Blend!

When we first began knitting, it didn't take us long to fall madly in love with the wonderful wool from Manos del Ururguay. The kettle dyed yarns have the most striking colors and for 100% wool, it is some of the softest that we have ever run through our fingers. It doesn't hurt that the yarn is hand-spun and hand-dyed by a womens' cooperative in Uruguay - so not only is it high quality and beautiful, it's also Fair Trade.

Just recently a loyal customer tipped us off: Manos has gone one better and created a silk and merino blend that is guaranteed to have any knitter coveting multiple skeins and all their friends begging for the fruits of their labors.

See our collection in the webshop. We've added 6 colors of the Silk Blend to our collection, with more coming towards the end of February.
