Sometimes the hardest part of starting a new knitting project isn't the knitting at all. It's choosing the colors!

Especially when it comes to Fair Isle and colorwork knitting, where the possibilities seem endless! But that's part of the fun, and at The Woolly Thistle, we make it even MORE fun by carrying EVERY color of Jamieson & Smith 2ply Jumper Weight! 💜

Tell us, are you the kind of knitter who LOVES choosing colors, or does having too many beautiful options make your head spin?

More wool for your woolly home? Yes, please!

We're SO excited to welcome the beautiful Wool Felt Baskets and Bowls from Fibres of Life to The Woolly Thistle!

Handcrafted from wet felted sheep's wool, these colorful, artisan-made beauties are the perfect way to bring a little extra woolly charm into your home!

🧺 The Baskets are generously sized at 16 inches across, perfect for storing your ever-growing yarn stash and WIPs. We fit 15 skeins of yarn in one, with room for more!

🌈 The Bowls come in two sizes and are just right for keeping your knitting notions, scrap yarn, and all those little bits and bobs organized.

Both are soft and flexible enough to fold for storage, yet sturdy enough to spring right back into shape!

Beautiful, practical, and made from WOOL? We love everything about them! 😍

When the power grid is a target, warmth becomes humanitarian aid.

Volunteer knitters from Maryland recently flew to New Hampshire and hand-delivered more than 1,000 handmade hats to Common Man for Ukraine for displaced Ukrainian children heading into winter, as Russian attacks on energy infrastructure leave millions without adequate heat.

Grateful to NHPR for covering this community effort, and to every knitter who turned yarn into protection for a child they’ll never meet. 💙💛
