Spool Cottage Craft Classes!

 Spool Cottage

Two weeks ago we launched our Art and Craft Classes here at Spool Cottage! Spool Cottage is my cozy Fiber Arts studio here in downtown Loveland. Laurel and I are having such a good time facilitating these workshops- stitching, knitting, mending, and so much more to come. Our classes include materials, instructions, snacks, homemade bread, beverages, and our super fun merit badge program (which you have to come check out for yourself!)

~Class offerings are available here on our website~

~Follow us on Instagram for updates here~

We are also offering custom events and workshops for private parties so please contact us to set up a workshop for a birthday party, baby shower, bachelorette party, family event, or just to have a fun time to get your friends together without having to plan or set anything up!

Agnes Grey Shawl

 

Agnes Grey is a Sontag shawl worked in a squishy cashmere-merino blend yarn from Anzula called For Better or Worsted. This cross-body wrap is knit from the top down in a heart shape and finished with i-cord ties to secure it in place. The garter check pattern across the body of the shawl gives an illusion of basket-weave texture and it is suitable for beginning knitters.

SoCal Fiber Fair

We are just home from the SoCal Fiber Fair.

This was a beautiful venue for a Fiber Arts Fair, and a great opportunity to connect with knitters, crocheters, spinners, and fiber arts enthusiasts.

Thank you to all of the organizers, vendors, volunteers, teachers, and most of all, attendees, who made this such a special show for us! That is a wrap on our 2025 shows. Stay tuned as we are building our event calendar for 2026! 

Are there any shows in your area you would like to see us attend?

Camp At Sunset

 

I am announcing the release of a new pattern, Camp At Sunset, which is a colorwork wrap knit in a beautiful gradient colorway created by Kami Noyes at Ranching Tradition Fiber. Kami is a fifth-generation ranches who raises Targhee Rambouillet Sheep in the Tobacco Root Valley of Montana. She is a self-taught fiber artist and created this colorway on her Range Camp base which is a plied Targhee wool from her own flock.

 For more info on my newest pattern please visit the pattern page here!

Knitting Season is Here!

 

It's officially Knitting Season! September is here and it is time to plan fall and winter knitting projects. I have a variety of projects on the needles: 2 cardigans, a lace shawl, an assigned pooling project, lots of spinning, and of course I always have a pair of socks in the works.

Here is a link to my pattern page if you are interested in exploring any of my patterns, some are included in our books, some are excerpts from books and magazines I have been published in, and some are just standalone patterns that I created for fun. I have a new design coming this fall/winter with some Range Camp Wool from Kami Noyes at Ranching Tradition Fiber in Montana.

What is on your needles, what do you have planned, are there new techniques you want to learn? I signed up for an Orenburg Knitted Lace class this winter that I am looking forward to. Happy Knitting Season!
