Ruby And Roses Yarn

I’m interrupting the basket content to share a few more up close photos of my latest sample knit by Emily M that is so perfect for the end of summer! Knit using my Azur Élégance colorway from the French Edit collection, that also just happens to be our second bestseller from the collection, which makes me so happy!!

This colorway is one of my favorites from the palette because it has so much dimension within the skein and the layers make for the best stitch definition, that looks so polished - now just to find the perfect buttons to pull it all together! If one of our French Edit colorways has been on your shopping list, I’d recommend snagging it soon since it will not be restocked again after this week! So get those dyed to order purchases in soon, so we can dye up just what you need!!

I feel like this design has the potential for a lot of different looks – whether you choose a more relaxed look like I’m going with here, or an elevated look by layering a lace top underneath for the perfect texture mix!

I’m SO excited to share something that’s been in the works for months - handwoven artisan BASKETS!!

Baskets of all sizes and styles will be coming in the update next Friday!! I’ve really missed having them in the shop, and I know you all have too, which makes me so happy! 🥹

I feel like they’re a great conversation starter, (because how often do you see a beautifully woven basket full of pretty yarn?! 😏) each featuring their own unique style and personality - with no two being alike!

To me, they’re designed to be combined with other creative elements in your making space, living room, or home office. I’ve had so much fun curating baskets that match the color palettes of different rooms in my house, filling them with knitting projects, and experiencing firsthand the joy that’s found in utilizing them as a piece of home design.

Each one has its own color story woven throughout, since each one is handmade by women in Ghana who make these baskets as a way to provide for themselves and the people they love. I just love getting to support other artists professionally and personally, and I know you all feel the same. 🫶🏻

Handwoven Artisan Baskets • along with a few more special items, will be coming to the shop Friday, August 14th @ 6pm ET! I’m so excited to keep sharing the surprises I have planned for this update, which will ALL be ready to ship!

I feel like this combo needs its own moment on the grid. 🥹 I told ya that this duo was amazing but in case you weren’t sure about it, just LOOK at that color play. 😍 I can’t stop staring at Party Dress on suri, and styling it with the minis instantly makes me want to cast something on.

Swipe to peek another Party Dress pairing idea, that features tonals from our latest summer collection!

These will be available and ready to ship August 14th at 6pm ET along with a few other surprises!

HOPSCOTCH ☀️ a chalky bright collection of 20g minis that simply encapsulate joy, when looking at those hues of bright pink, melon and dusty lilac, contrasted with justtt a touch of moodiness in there making the palette feel effortlessly dynamic. I just love those rich shades of mulberry and glowing orchid in that one mini that turned out soooo dark, which is why it feels so special. Not to mention that rich teal that has layers upon layers of blues and greens!

It also happens to be the PERFECT pairing for my Party Dress colorway that I couldn’t resist snapping a few photos of to share with y’all in tomorrow’s post! It mixes the poised and polished, with an edge of playfulness. 😎

PARTY DRESS 💃 a polished cream with the most unapologetically feminine speckles.

The smattering of light pinks and charcoal gray speckles are so simplistic, applied with what has the appearance of pinpoint precision, reminding me of the soft sparkle of sequence that makes an appearance in the classiest of dresses. ✨

A few of you might remember this colorway from years past as this was one of the very first ones I created that has continued to come back, even as my dye style has evolved - leading to a slight revamp of this colorway where I changed the base from a yellowish ivory to a this icy cream. I’m LOVING the change and I hope you do as well!

It honestly makes me so happy to see how many of you took the time to write me an email requesting a restock! 🥹 I saw every one, and knew as soon as I created the OOAK mini set that’s coming tomorrow 👀 that the timing was meant to be.

JADE 🩵 This palette makes me think of tumbled seaglass, watercolor paintings, and glazed ceramic tiles in a rich teal blue. It somehow feels both energizing and refreshing all at the same time. Every mini has its own lil personality, and they really flow together so naturally.

The speckled pops are my fav because they’re like their own masterpieces. 🥹 The jade green, denim, and coral colorway turned out SO perfect, and the mini full of jungle greens, fuchsia, teals, and berry purples is also one that I absolutely adore. When I started planning this set, I really wanted an excuse to have a few of the minis be inspired by these classic R&R colorways: Beach Party, Fake It Till You Make It, Wildflowers, Chauffeur, and Minimalist. Because aren’t they just a perfect fit?! 😍

My eighth installment of 🎨 Color Wheel Club 🎨 is coming to the shop July 5th at 6pm ET! We will be shipping in batches again, so the first 100 will ship within 2 weeks, the second 100 will ship within 5 weeks, the third 100 within 8 weeks, and the final 400 will be ready to ship within 3 months of launch!

The incredible projects being shared in our discord group right now are seriously so inspiring! Whether you knit or crochet, I feel like it’s impossible to walk away without feeling a spark of creativity. It’s definitely been keeping me motivated to continue to work on my own Color Wheel Club wip with any free moment I get. 🥹 The community that’s formed there is something that’s so special for me to watch and be a part of, and CWC is such a central part of the conversation.

I felt like it was only fitting to share some of the most recent pics in the thread, as the anticipation is SO real for this next installment that just *might* be previewing tomorrow. 🎉👀

The link to join The ColorHype Collective discord group will be in my stories in case you want to come hang out with us! 🙃

After developing these new summer tonals, I just knew SO many of them would look gorgeous paired with my Golden Hour mini set! I’m so excited to finally get to share all these possibilities with y’all, and I’d love to know in the comments which one is your favorite!

As much as I love the way it looks with Le Melon, I’m also completely obsessed with the way Periwinkle Lace accents the set in such a unique way, and it’s one of those combos that’s just begging to be marled. 😍

Other tonals featured in these photos are Chardonnay, Fleur de Mer, and Terrace.

The French Edit and Golden Hour are both available now in the shop! 🇫🇷 ☀️

Now it’s time for my favorite part of releasing something new – getting to hear your favorites, see what combos you put together, and hopefully help generate ideas for the perfect pattern that you can’t wait to cast on!!

I also wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s already taken a moment to check out the collection and maybe even snagged a skein or two — your support means so much to me and my team, and we’re so thrilled to get to do this for a living. 🥹🫶🏻

I didn’t want to clutter the post by breaking down the colorways in each slide, but if you have any questions about the names, please drop them below!

The French Edit • is a ready to ship palette inspired by our travels through city streets, morning markets, and the places we never planned to find. Available now in the shop! 🇫🇷
