HOW-TO: Knit the Sheep Sorrel pattern, designed by Pam Allen + a profile on Quince & Co.

An excerpt from Slow Knitting by Hannah Thiessen.

Open a back issue of Interweave Knits, search your shelf of knitting books, or simply glance through your Ravelry library and past projects, and I’m sure you’ll find something designed by Quince & Co.’s Pam Allen. From the publication of her first patterns in the early 1980s to her management of one of today’s most popular and prolific knitting brands, Pam has been a stable presence in a knitting market that has undergone vast amounts of change.

Pam’s earliest published knitting patterns appeared in Family Circle magazine. She sustained herself by publishing works and getting herself involved with anything knitting-related, including knitting swatches for yarn companies. She then moved into writing books (like Knitting for Dummies, which adorns my own bookshelf and taught me to purl, yarn over, and increase stitches), and she eventually became the editor in chief at Interweave Knits. Interweave combined many of Pam’s interests—fashion, art, history, research, construction, and instruction—into one neat package. She helped the company weather the industry’s move toward new Internet content offerings bolstered by the rise of Ravelry, the popular online knitting and crochet community, and the overnight boom of independent publishing. Afterward, she left Interweave Knits to pursue her interest in the making of yarn as creative director at Classic Elite, an established yarn company.

Pam enjoyed the process of coordinating and creating the new visions for each season of yarns, patterns, and campaigns for Classic Elite. During her time there, she got a call from a Texas mohair producer interested in making a yarn featuring his fiber. The fiber was wonderful, but like many large yarn companies, Classic Elite had long forgone using American mills to spin their yarn in favor of better pricing and higher production overseas. Regardless, Pam agreed to see samples. In talking to the mohair farmer, she discovered that a mill local to her in Maine was doing custom spinning, and she decided to do some research. While Classic Elite wasn’t interested in expanding to American production at the time, Pam decided to break away and pursue her new dream of becoming a yarn producer with the purpose of rejuvenating American textile production. She partnered with the mill owner, Bob Rice, and launched Quince & Co. in 2010.

Each and every yarn released through Quince & Co. goes through a design process that highlights the unique qualities of the fibers involved. Pam has pulled on her vast experience working with and selecting yarns to create beautiful versions of familiar things. Owl, a worstedweight, plump two-ply, is one of my favorite examples. Typically, Huacaya alpaca is spun to enhance the slinky, silky aspects of the fiber, resulting in yarns that have great drape, but may be heavy for use in larger garments. Combining alpaca with a special blend of American-bred wool, Owl is then woolen-spun, a method that adds air in between the yarn fibers and allows for warmth that is lofty and lightweight. One of the unique aspects of Owl is that each season, alpaca colors are slightly different based on the animal’s breeding, age, and coloration. This results in a yarn that while not consistent year to year, is truly special in its uniqueness. Instead of seeing this as a challenge, Pam has embraced these differences and introduces new colors of Owl frequently. (Although she does encourage those who knit with this yarn to buy enough for their garment all at once!)

Like the sheep’s wool used in Owl, the fiber used in all of Quince & Co.’s yarns is carefully considered and sourced, and not simply in the easiest way possible. After consulting with cotton farmers and discovering that growing and maintaining organic cotton standards wasn’t resulting in a premium product, Pam decided to go with Cleaner Cotton™ through the Sustainable Cotton Project. This process uses biologically based processes to manage pests and avoids compounds that create problems for natural wildlife populations, like honeybees. Unlike organic cotton, in which losses and waste create their own harmful results, Cleaner Cotton™ allows farmers to maintain the yields that are profitable without sacrificing the land’s quality and stability.

Six years after its start, Quince & Co. has become synonymous with beautiful, fresh design. Pam Allen has long since bought her partner out and expanded her production from a single mill to five, and has gone from making a handful of yarns to releasing new bases or colors seasonally (the current tally is thirteen yarns). While Quince may still be a fairly small company, Pam hopes it will continue to grow—she never intended it to be a boutique yarn, but instead hopes that someday the company may be large enough to support many farmers. More yarn means more sheep, and more sheep mean more open spaces, ranches, and farms that will not be turned into industrial development or construction. Open space is a commodity that cannot be regained, and Pam is passionate about maintaining as much of it in the United States as possible. Wool, as Pam says, is a living fiber that changes and grows, just like the industry that feeds it.

Sheep Sorrel

Who better to design a pattern than the person who designed the yarn? Pam created a simple hat and fingerless mitt set that celebrates the rustic beauty of Owl in high relief. The combination of basic knit and purl stitches used on panels is reminiscent of Guernsey patterning. Ridges of garter stitch and simple cables make these a knit that allows for yarn appreciation throughout the project. Since the stitches are approachable, these make a great group project that knitters of all levels can enjoy.

Special Techniques

Long-Tail CO

– Leaving tail with about 1" (2.5cm) of yarn for each st to be cast-on, make a slipknot in the yarn and place it on the righthand needle, with the tail to the front and the working end to the back. Insert the thumb and forefinger of your left hand between the strands of yarn so that the working end is around your forefinger, and the tail end is around your thumb “slingshot” fashion; *insert the tip of the right–hand needle into the front loop on the thumb, hook the strand of yarn coming from the forefinger from back to front, and draw it through the loop on your thumb; remove your thumb from the loop and pull on the working yarn to tighten the new st on the right–hand needle; return your thumb and forefinger to their original positions, and repeat from * for remaining sts to be CO.

Backward Loop CO – Make a loop (using a slip knot) with the working yarn and place it on the right-hand needle (first st CO), *wind yarn around thumb clockwise, insert righthand needle into the front of the loop on thumb, remove thumb and tighten st on needle; repeat from * for remaining sts to be CO, or for casting on at the end of a row in progress.

Like the “slow food” movement, Slow Knitting encourages knitters to step back, pare down, and celebrate the craftsmanship of their work. In five chapters centered around the tenets of slow knitting—sourcing carefully, making thoughtfully, thinking environmentally, experimenting fearlessly, and exploring openly—Hannah Thiessen challenges knitters of all skill levels to view their practice in a new way. Each chapter contains explorations of fiber types; profiles of well-known yarn types, makers, and yarn suppliers; and garment patterns inspired by the featured fibers. With contributions from knitting superstars Norah Gaughan, Bristol Ivy, and many others, Slow Knitting proposes an approach to knitting that is both minimalist and all-encompassing, and emphasizes what makes knitting a meditation, a passion, and a unique necessity.

Why Encircled’s Jogger Set Will Be Your New Favourite WFH Outfit

When Kristi Soomer founded her Toronto-based athleisure brand, Encircled, in late 2012, the guiding design concept was led by her experience as a management consultant who racked up thousands of kilometres in travel a year. “I really wanted pieces that were comfortable and versatile and stylish,” she recalls. Eventually, she set out to create pieces that would speak to her life in a suitcase, figuring that others had the same needs and wants as well.

She was right. The first product Encircled launched was the Chrysalis Cardi, so named for its ability to morph into multiple ways of being worn; and since then, the brand has developed an array of easy-to-wear garments that come in limited runs and are initially launched as pre-orders to minimize the volume of pieces being created. “We try to find that perfect intersection of comfort, style, ethics and sustainability,” Soomer says of the brand’s approach; it’s one that has led to Encircled receiving B Corp certification thanks to practices like having its own ethical supplier checklist above and beyond the points regulated by the federal government, and working with local partners to manufacture its goods.

On Monday, we received a letter accusing us of price gouging from the Ontario Government related to our face masks. To us, it’s a reminder of how much more we need to educate consumers, and our own government on the costs of manufacturing in Canada.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ A mask made overseas can cost as low as $0.03 to make. Our base cost is $5.50 per mask. If a mask costs $0.03 to make, who’s getting paid? Not the worker. Not the knitter. Not the person that picked the cotton to make that mask. This is why making clothing here matters. Exploitative labour and practices need to go, and it starts with voting with your wallet.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ✨Today, we launch our first true jogger set✨⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Made for lounging, Netflixing, and cozy nights around the fire, this Bamboo-blend fleece set is equal parts comfy, sustainable and breathable.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ High-quality finishes, little details like a pocket within the hoodie pocket, and stretchy fabric makes the Fair Hoodie and Fair Jogging Pant an investment worth making. Yes, they cost more than the jogger set you’ll get from the mass market mall store, but you’ll feel great knowing that this set is made by skilled and fairly paid workers, knitters, and dye house workers along the supply chain, mostly in Canada.⠀ ⠀ Tap @encircled_ and the link in our bio to pre-order your Fair Jogger Set.

A post shared by Stylish, Sustainable Clothing (@encircled_) on Aug 27, 2020 at 1:30pm PDT

Encircled’s new Fair Jogger Set is one such example of its Canadian-crafted products; it includes a hoodie and pair of relaxed-fit pants both fashioned from a bamboo fleece-based material that’s Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified. The duo is a timely offering considering how many of us are seeking cozy pieces to sport at home. “We started to focus on the idea of building a curated, minimalist wardrobe,” says Soomer, adding that, “It’s going to be hard to get people back into uncomfortable pants. Once you’ve lived in leggings and sweatpants for months and months, it’ll be a hard transition to go back to that.”

Regardless of where the Fair Jogger set is being rocked, customers can take extra comfort in learning more about what’s involved in producing their purchase than they normally would from other brands. Encircled’s website features several components of information about fabrics, manufacturing and more, all with the goal to be as transparent as possible.

“I wanted to build a business where I was super aligned with its values,” says Soomer, noting that even though she doesn’t have a background in fashion design, as a consumer she always saw the industry as a shadowy, secretive one. She addresses the biggest objection consumers have to Encircled’s pieces–their cost–by reiterating that better materials and on-shore manufacturing come with a higher, and definitely worthy, price. “We want people to understand what goes into the process of making a garment,” she says. “And we want to show how a customer’s dollars impacts the community.”

And community is something that’s been imperative to Encircled’s success. “We’re a customer-centric organization,” Soomer says. “Most of our designs come from their ideas, and we work with them directly to refine those ideas.” The brand posts about prototypes to gain its audience’s feedback, sharing updated iterations with the aim of delivering the best possible end product.

A post shared by Stylish, Sustainable Clothing (@encircled_) on Sep 2, 2020 at 5:30pm PDT

Recently the brand launched a Facebook group, and Soomer says it’s not only ideal as a platform for Encircled to communicate information about new designs and accumulate reactions to its offerings. “It’s a zone where people can buy, sell and trade Encircled pieces,” she says. “It’s a great way to keep the fashion lifecycle going without landfilling clothing.”

The group’s activities certainly speak to Soomer’s mantra of “progress over perfection”, as well as being a nod to the idea of “honouring the planet and people on the planet” that she takes so much to heart. In speaking about being the CEO of a brand during the ongoing civil rights movement here and around the world, she notes that, “We fully acknowledge that we’re not perfect–I don’t think any brand is. We’ve been focused on doing what we can, and being open and transparent with everything we do.”

This includes taking the 15% Pledge, and starting a company-wide book club; every Friday this summer they’ve met to discuss Ibram X. Kendi’s How To Be An Antiracist. And Encircled is also currently accepting submissions until mid-September for the Impact Fund, a $5,000 grant aimed at uplifting a female-identifying founder-led business.

Such a boost would definitely assist an emerging business trying to endure through the COVID-19 crisis, and Soomer isn’t shy when it comes to sharing her personal journey during the experience. “Entrepreneurship in itself is always a roller coaster,” she says. “I don’t think anybody can ever prepare anybody for the emotions that go into running a business, [nevermind] during a pandemic.

“At the beginning, it was difficult to function,” she goes on. “There were a couple of weeks there where I wasn’t at my best.” But Soomer came to realize that adopting a routine–one that includes walking her dog, eating a healthy breakfast and spending some time on her Peloton–results in a noticeable shift in her mindset. “I think the worst thing you can do when you’re going through a challenging time is just sit there and wallow in it,” she says, identifying herself as a big planner. “Making a plan and taking action, even if it’s small steps forward, can make a big difference.”

Best Wool & Yarn Shops in Rugby, Warwickshire

Are you looking for local shops in Rugby to buy wool from?

You’ve come to right place.

If you’re from Rugby and love knitting, crocheting or sewing, there’s a good chance you’re going to either buy your wool and equipment locally in Rugby, or in the wider Warwickshire region, so we’re here to help you best wool shop near me.

Many people prefer to buy their wool from a local wool shop so they can get hands on the product and find the best colours, thicknesses and textures to suit a particular project.

Finding the best wool shops in Rugby

Not all wool shops near by are alike, in fact there can be huge differences in quality and price from yarn shops just around the corner from one another. We recommend you spend time in each of the ‘wool shops near me’ to allow you to get used to their ranges, brands and pricing models. Having experience with each will allow you to know which wool shop is best for a particular project, whether quality is of the upmost importance or price is the biggest factor.

If you’re new to crocheting, there’s plenty of friendly forums such as Ravelry you can join to discuss your new hobby and meet new friends who share the same interest.

Things to look out for when crocheting

Find a shop in Rugby that holds a large selection of colours, types and prices of wool at any given time. Many people expect to go home with the wool that day, so most stores will always keep a wide range on the shelf ready to take home. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push(); Some things to look out for:

Colour selection – Is there a good range of colours available?

Brand selection – Do they sell different brands of yarn?

Price range – Do they have different price ranges to suit different projects?

Free advice – Are the staff friendly and knowledgeable about their product?

Organised & Tidy – Is the shop well organised and kept tidy?

Choosing the right wool/yarn

There’s tons of different wools & yarns available in Rugby, from colour tones to thicknesses and quality of fibres. Before diving in and buying a wool simply because it looks okay, it’s recommended that you get to grips with the actual specifics and what you should be looking out for.

youtube

Don’t forget to always check the yardage when buying balls of yarn, manufacturers can often wind it differently to make less look like more. By looking at the label around the ball of yarn, you should be able to find out everything you need to know about the brand, colour, yardage and fibres.

amazon_ad_tag ="woolshopnearme-21"; amazon_ad_width ="468"; amazon_ad_height ="60"; amazon_ad_price ="retail"; amazon_ad_border ="hide"; amazon_color_link ="EB2A67"; amazon_ad_include ="wool+yarn+crocheting"; amazon_ad_categories ="ahikq";

If you still have questions, we recommend you talk to a member of staff who should be able to explain everything you need to know and answer any questions.

Different Types of Yarn and Guidelines for Picking the Best Yarn

Yarn is used for crocheting, sewing, knitting, stitching, plaiting, carpet and rope making, as well as the production of textiles. Fibres that make up a yarn can vary from animal fibres, synthetic fibres to plant fibres.

Plant fibres include cotton, and linen which are produced from alpaca, silk, angora, and wool. Wool is produced in very high quantities compared to the rest, this is because sheep have a lot more wool on their bodies than other animals. The different types of fibres consist of various qualities (both good and bad), these fibres are usually merged together in order to make use of each of the fibres’ good qualities. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Different Types of Yarn

If you’re new to crocheting, you’re probably not aware of all the different types of yarn and wool that’s available locally. From animals, plants and synthetic, there’s a wide range of different textures and characteristics to be had.

Below we look at some of the most popular types of yarn that you’re likely to come across locally. If you’re looking for an in-depth guide on the different types, we high recommend this website.

If you’re interested in seeing how cotton is produced, we found this great video which highlights the manufacturing process.

youtube

Yarn from animal fibre.

– Sheep’s wool

Yarn made from sheep’s wool and can vary greatly with texture and quality, as well as depending on the type of the sheep that produced the wool. The quality of wool is typically determined by the breed of sheep and its age. Lopi and Merino are the most common sheep for producing quality wool and Merino has the highest rate in terms of its price.

– Alpaca fiber

Alpacas are sheep-like animals which are related closely to llamas. They produce wool similarly to sheep but with dissimilar characteristics. Their wool is much warmer than sheep’s wool and they do not contain fat.

Yarn from plant fibre

Cotton

This is the most common source for yarn production and the type most widely available locally in Warwickshire. The various types of cotton vary quite a lot with their characteristics. The most used types of cotton are Pima cotton which is known as the finest cotton on earth. It has long fibres and is extremely soft, it is also resistant to creasing, waning, ripping and unraveling.

Another type of cotton is Egyptian cotton which is longer than Pima cotton and thus making it also soft and easy to work with. The last type of cotton commonly used is Upland cotton which is short unlike the first two, it is suitable for production of affordable as well as quality products for everyone. It is also known as American cotton.

Bamboo

Its fibres are very short so they cannot be used to make a natural fibre, however, with the help of chemical methods, they can create a synthetic fibre. Bamboos are also useful to the environment since they prevent soil erosion and produce oxygen, therefore they are harvested carefully without destroying the plant.

Yarn from synthetic fibres

Synthetic fibres are mostly preferred to natural fibres because they are considered to be long lasting and cannot be easily dyed as well as water proof.

Rayon

A rayon is a man-made cellulosic fibre mainly made from refined wood and plant tissue. Rayon is commonly produced through the viscose method, it’s a process that produces an artificial silk.

Polyester

It is normally made from a combination of natural fibres and artificial fibres. Mostly used to make clothes as well as linens and fabric. Polyester can be combined with cotton to form a range of different materials.

Qualities to Look for While Buying Yarn for Crocheting or Knitting

Type of fibre

It is important to first choose the type of yarn to be used from the range of fibres available, such as animal and plant fibres. The selection of these fibres often depends on whether you have experience in knitting or crocheting. For beginners, cotton, wool, and acrylic yarn are much easier to work with and are therefore a good recommended starting point.

Wool yarn is easy to untangle in case of a small mishap, and they can also be used again. To some people, and cotton yarn is somewhat more difficult in crocheting than yarn since since it is inflexible, although it is perfect for other projects which require this quality.

Acrylic yarn is mostly embraced by crocheting beginners, although some acrylic yarns are hard to deal with since they open up so we recommend you ensure and acrylic yarn you buy is of the highest quality.

Weight of yarn

Depending on the expertise of the knitter, the thickness or weight of yarn should be considered. Choose the weight of yarn that you can use comfortably without finding it too thin or too thick. Details about the weight or thickness of the yarn are written on the yarn’s packaging.

Price of yarn in Rugby

Prices of yarn around Warwickshire vary with the quality of yarn being offered. A higher price on yarn typically indicates its quality. However cotton, wool, and acrylic are the ones commonly used.

Yardage of the yarn

Different yarn brands produce different amounts of yardage, two yarns can be the same price but the yardage amount can be different so it is important to check whether the yardage before you buy.

Washable yarn

Most knitters knit things to wear, like scarfs, cardigans, throw blankets as well as leg warmers. It is necessary to check the washing instruction of the type of yarn you are considering buying. Some yarns cannot be washed using machines, others reduce in size when put in a drier, while others can stretch.

Yarn color

To make it easier to see all the stitches while crocheting, choose a brighter type of yarn as opposed to darker types of yarn. Brighter yarns are much more visible making it less likely that you accidentally miss a stitch.

Conclusion

Crocheting is fun and easy to learn, therefore as much as choosing the type of yarn is important, any type of yarn can be used when you’re trying to learn. The main thing the worry about, is simply getting started. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
