Local Dyer and Designer Dawn Barker

Based in beautiful Amarillo, TX, our dear friend Dawn Barker is the talented creative force behind Barker Wool. Dawn dyed a special color for Knit ATX called "Spark" to use in her latest pattern "Shimmer". Shimmer is a one skein triangle scarf that uses the innovative concept of assigned pooling.

When you purchase a skein of Barker Wool Silky Solo you will receive a Ravelry code to download Shimmer for free!

Pre-Order "Spark"

Barker Wool Silky Solo in our Special Release Custom Color "Spark" sold out so fast that have opened the color for Pre-Order status. Pre-Orders of "Spark" will be shipping in 3 weeks!

La Bien Aimée

La Bien Aimée yarn is our favorite yarn!  We got her new base - Silk Tweed for you to knit or crochet with. Silk Tweed is fingering weight yarn and it is made of 100% Silk Noil. It is great summer yarn to try!

Pattern Suggestions for Silk Tweed

Rock It Tee

The Rock It Tee by Tanis Lavallee works up beautifully when you combine La Bien Aimee Silk Tweed and your favorite mohair!

Elton Pullover

In the Elton Pullover by Joji Locatelli, our friend Lori alternated stripes of La Bien Aimee Silk Tweed and Moondrake Fuwa Fuwa to gorgeous effect.

Este

Este by Justyna Lorkowska is worked seamlessly from top to bottom with beautiful lace detailing at the shoulders.

Le Bandana

Le Bandana by Aimée Gille is always a fun way to experiment with a new to you yarn. Work in single colors, stripes or intarsia for fun results!

Mean Ruz Top

Mean Ruz top by MarGueNée takes two contrasting colors of La Bien Aimee Silk Tweed and mixes a drop shoulder lace panel with fun stripes, and a delicate v-neck.

Blue Sky Fibers Organic Cotton Sport

A two-ply, sport-weight yarn made from 100% Certified Organic Cotton. Naturally soft, lightweight, and perfect for all seasons, these 50g/136yd hanks are great for knit and crochet.

Oh So Chic! Cowl Kit

Oh So Chic! cowl is a perfect accessory. It is a fun and engaging knit.

The cowl is knit flat sideways and then seamed up the back of the neck after blocking. This pattern utilizes mosaic knitting and garter stitch. The pattern can be worked from the written instructions or the charts.

**Pattern purchased separately.**
