Great Northern Kickstarter Rewards: Yarn Bundles, Part 1

Here are some of the vintage yarn rewards that will be available once our Kickstarter campaign launches on September 9th (edited-- here's the Kickstarter link!). I hand-picked it from sealed plastic containers, and it's all in pristine condition and really fun stuff!


Bright Turquoise Mohair- 360g of two bright turquoise shades.

Colinette- 4 skeins of vintage Colinette yarn. 400g

Mohair- 2 cobalt blue balls o' pristine vintage mohair yarn - 80g

Multi Mix- Colinette, sari silk, Knit One Purl Too, Cotton tape-- 450g of various funky, colorful, beautiful yarns.

Japanese Silk- 25 skeins of gorgeous golden yellow silk, it's all in perfect condition. I know nothing about this other than what it says on the label: "Pure Silk, made in Japan, 100% silk"

Each skein is about 32-38g each, making for an approximate total weight of 850g or so!

This is an amazing quantity of gorgeous vintage yarn. Just the labels alone are little works of art. The yarn has been kept in a plastic bag all it's life, from what I can tell. It's perfect.

Muted Turquoise Mohair -4 balls of pristine vintage mohair. 160g

There will be more, soon! Thanks for checking out these rewards. Make sure to sign up for our newsletter to be notified when these are available!

Great Northern: Prizes!

We're starting to collect some amazing prizes for our Kickstarter campaign for Great Northern!

In case you missed it, Teresa Gregorio and I are working on a pattern book of sweaters and accessories inspired by the TV show Twin Peaks. We're going to launch a Kickstarter campaign in August, and release the collection next fall. Over the next few weeks, we'll be giving you some peeks at what we're swatching, knitting, and shooting.

Now, on to the REWARDS!

First up, we have some adorable Sweatshop of Love kits from Allyson Dykhuizen.

Allyson also donated some beautiful hand-printed project bags! The bags are from WORK+SHELTER, a very cool organization that provides women in India with a safe, fair-paying work environment.

Throughout the campaign, we'll be posting more and more yarn prizes. This is a skein of Fancy Tiger Heirloom Romney yarn, which will be up for grabs.

Some of our very generous designer friends have donated patterns! We'll be offering ebooks, patterns and print books from Carina Spencer, Shannon Okey, Alex Tinsley, Annika Barranti, Lee Meredith, Bristol Ivy, Jane Richmond, and more! Including Teresa and myself, of course.
