Tod Worsted
We’ve expanded our Tod lineup, and we’re welcoming Tod Worsted to the gang! It’s everything we love about Tod but in a worsted weight version. It’s plump, squishy, and glorious! It’s got fluff for days and a great halo.

We just had to have us some tweed— some Elmer Tweed! Elmer Tweed is woolen spun with more than just a pinch of cashmere. It has a rustic essence and a beautiful richness. It’s fantastic on its own and perfect for colorwork. This tweed holds its shape beautifully while remaining lightweight. The little tweedy bits of color keep you wanting to knit “just one more round” in anticipation of what bits will appear next. This incredibly plush yarn will bring you right onto the tweed bandwagon if we do say so ourselves! (Elmer Tweed is 70% wool and 30% cashmere.)
