We are so pleased to announce the arrival of Spud & Chloe, a new line of natural yarns and a dedicated line of charming patterns! We know they'll find a special place in your yarn stashes and project queues.

These "sweet yarns for real life" are a new experience for fiber lovers: their soft touch, lofty hand, carefully crafted spin and gorgeous colors make them as beautiful to behold as any luxury yarn, and yet they're machine-washable so that they're practical, versatile, and best of all durable. Bonus!

Spud & Chloe offers three wonderful blends and weights: Fine, Sweater, and Outer, each with their own color palette inspired by nature.

Fine is 80% superwash wool and 20% silk fingering (sock) weight yarn that comes in a generous skein of 248 yards each (enough yarn for a pair of average adult socks), with a recommended gauge of 7 to 8 stitches per inch on a US size 1 to 3 needle. It's used in the fun Dial Up Gloves pattern shown above.

Sweater is a fantastic worsted weight yarn comprised of 55% superwash wool and 45% organic cotton, with a hefty 160 yards per skein, and a workable gauge of 4 to 5 stitches per inch. No tiny needles needed! You can whip up new knits with a needle in the neighborhood of a US 7 to 9. Sweater features the widest range of colors, which can be combined to create any mood, whether you're making garments for women, men, kids or babies.  You can find the Flap Happy Hat pattern pictured above at this link.

Outer is a bulky weight yarn, 65% superwash wool and 35% organic cotton that works perfectly on a range of needles, from US size 11 to 15! This soft and surprisingly lightweight yarn looks great at a gauge of 2 to 3 stitches per inch and features 60 yards per skein. The no-nonsense colors Sequoia, Peat, Carbon, Soapstone, and Flannel match the heartiness and durability you can expect from this amazing natural blend.  Despite its rough and tumble exterior, Outer is gentle enough for babies and necks. Here it is in the Bumble Up Scarf, pictured above.

We hope you'll enjoy these new yarns and patterns for a long time to come!  Don't forget to check out Spud and Chloe's own adorable website here.
