Bestiary Scarf KAL
​Join us on Wednesday evenings in June for our Summer "Bestiary Scarf KAL" 7pm - 9pm. We will cast-on our projects Wednesday, June 3rd at 7pm!
The Bestiary Scarf is a knitted, artistic encyclopaedia of Western mythical creatures, created using double knitting. This technique produces fully reversible colourwork without floats, with the colours inverted on each side.
As written, the pattern calls for fingering weight yarn to knit the scarf. However, the charts for this pattern can be used with any weight yarn to create a finished object of your choosing: eg. you can use worsted weight yarn and turn the charts into a sweater!
​
This is a piece for knitters who love intricate colourwork and storytelling through design.

Melt the ICE
Join us on Wednesday evenings, 7pm - 9pm for our weekly KAL/CAL as we make protest hats in solidarity with our fellow stitchers in Minnesota.
​
In the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal and punishable by law to wear, make, or distribute.
As purveyors of traditional craft, we felt it appropriate to revisit this design.
​​
Patterns for a knitted and a crocheted version of the hat are available on Ravelry and we have loads of red yarn for you to choose from.
​
All proceeds from the sale of this pattern go to the immigrant aid agencies who will distribute the funds to those impacted by the actions of ICE.
​
Knitting and crochet have a long of history of being political. Lovelyarns is a woman owned shop and we are proud to stand with Minnesota against ICE.
If you have visited us this past year, you will have noticed that we have LOADS of beautifully hand-dyed yarn and fiber from our good friend Elise Koch of Create Yarnworks!
​
All of Elise's gorgeous goodies are hand-dyed in her home studio in Hebron, Maryland. You don't want to miss her NEW Corriedale/Gotland DK OR her NEW Neon Merino Tweeds!
And for our spinners we have a Teeswater/Punta Arenas/Lotus Fiber Blend and a Romney/Shetland/Bamboo custom blend! Both are a dream to spin!

It's Time to Whip Up A Yarn Storm!
Join us for Saturday Stitch-ins 12 - 5pm
My fellow Lovelies, pictured above are two photos of the bridge that spans the distance between Hampden and Remington. We think this bridge is looking a little bare as folks keep trading spray painted opinions. Our aim is to continue the conversation in the form of creative knitted and crocheted graffiti. We would love to add an arsenal of knitted and crocheted orange "F" Bombs with blonde fluffy fuses!
Any and all forms of stitchy participation are welcome and encouraged. If there is a particular statement you wish to add to our installation please do! We encourage you to use natural fibers so we can remain environmentally friendly with our display.
