Circular needles are handy tools for all kinds of knitting projects. You can always substitute straight needles or double pointed needles with a flexible, high quality circular needle. We carry Knit Pro and Chiaogoo - brands that we can recommend. Both brands have fixed and interchangeable needles that you can choose from.
When you knit with straight needles, especially heavier projects may cause pain on your wrists when you have support the weight of the work mostly on one hand. When you use circulars, the weight of a large garment is divided evenly on both hands and the work lays ergonomically on your lap.
Double pointed needles are handy for small projects such as socks, but you can use a circular needle too! You can knit a small project in the round using a long circular - a technique called Magic Loop. When using a circular needle, the work doesn't slip off needles. Few or no ladders form between the stitches when you use Magic Loop technique.
Cable knitting is easy when using a cable needle. Try the classic bent cable needles or the straight wooden cable needle. YOGA cable needles are a rewarded new product for knitting cables or holding stitches.
In Finland we have this thing called mökki. A cabin, summer house, hut, cottage, holiday home - there are many names for it in English. To me “mökki” means a wooden summerhouse next to a lake with no electricity or running water. An outdoor toilet, wood heated sauna and a squeaky pier that may detach the shore any day. Fireplace fire in the evenings - so no modern conveniences or luxuries at all. We have had a summerhouse since I remember. I spent all my childhood summers there with my family - knitting and reading Donald Duck and hundreds of books. Due to many incidents it had to be pulled down a few years ago. My heart broke. There has been a hole in my soul ever since…
The silence and solitude being in the middle of a forest, listening to birds and wind is the luxury I need these days. I am fortunate to have found this paradise in this mökki which we kind of accidentally rented in the beginning of May this year. We may have different wishes and expectations, but it doesn’t matter here. You know what I’m talking about. Taking a break and slowing down is important for everyone, and it can be a state of mind anywhere you like.
This was an introduction to the next knit-a-long we have been planning. Whether there is going be a heatwave in Finland this summer or not, the nights are usually chilly. And autumn is coming… So this is the perfect time to knit a warm and cozy sweater, in which you’d imagine yourself immersing both knitting and wearing it at your summerhouse.
The Summerhouse Sweater KAL starts on June 8th - on the official KIP day. Choose your favorite sweater pattern and Tukuwool yarns and enter in social media and/or in Ravelry by using these hashtags:
#tukusummerKAL
#summerhousesweaterKAL
#mökkipaitaKAL
The KAL ends in the end of August. We will announce KAL prizes on the first week of September. We will also be posting some patterns and designs that would interest you or are on our own must have list. Oh, and we’d love to see your WIPs pictured at your own cabin if you visit one! Who is in?
You can find pattern ideas from Ravelry - he search results for the patterns made of Tukuwool can be found from this link. Here is some patterns that we have knitted or they are high on our to-do list:
SAMMAL / Joji Locatelli
AAMU / Isabell Kraemer
SHIMO/ Leeni Hoimela
MON MANET/ Jonna Hietala
This Mon Manet Tuku fade was knitted with 2 strands of Tukuwool Fingering and from almost all natural shades. You can find notes about the fade order from my Ravelry project page.
The newest issue of Laine Magazine came out on May 31st. We gathered some yarns you should try for the issue's patterns. There are lots of color options in each yarn, and we are ready to help you choose the best color for you. Email us or contact us in Facebook if you have any questions!
The 8th Issue - Kelo includes eleven patterns from the following designers:
Justyna Lorkowska, Denise Bayron, Libby Jonson, Julie Dubreux, Leeni Hoimela, Astrid Troland, Sus Gepard, Éveline Cantin-Bergeron, Jenny Sauselein and Marjorie Martin.
1) HONEYDEW
The pattern calls for a fingering weight yarn, especially single ply merino together with a lace weight silk moahir yarn.
La Bien Aimèe Merino Singles colors Jonna, Souvenir, Shipwreck, Peach Pom Pom and Isagerin Silk Mohair colors 68, 00, 62 and 100.
2) GEORGIE
Choose a sport weight yarn such as Quince & Co. Chickadee, pictured in gingerbread and honey. A handdyed option is The Uncommon Threadin Everyday Sport, colors james and the giant, olive leaf and tea smoked.
3) GRACE
Odotamme varastoon Quince & Co.n tilausta, jossa saamme Puffinia ohjeen sävyssä!
4) PASVIK
Monikäyttöinen Pasvik-huivi on neulottu ranskalaisesta eettisestä merinolangasta Gilliatt. Sävyt sauge, granit ja poivre et sel.
5) HEATHER, socks
The beautiful lacy socks can be knitted with one of our many fingering weitght sock yarns, such as La Bien Aimèe Merino Super Sock in jonna and parchment and Julie Asselin Nomade in momo, echo and tilleul.
6) UOMA
Leeni Hoimela's classic beauty, Uoma, is made of Julie Asselin Leizu Fingering Simple. We carry over 40 colors of this drapey merino silk blend!
7) FLOWER BUDS
If you haven't made a summer top yet, try Flower Buds, which is made with a thin wool yarn together with a lace weight alpaca yarn. For summer you might want to choose a Linen or Silk Blend such as Sandnes Garn Tynn Line, of which I'm making my version of Flower Buds! I knit Tynn line single, so I chose a size larger than usual. Holst Garn Tides together with Alpaca 1 would be perfect too, or Alpaca 2 + Alpaca 1.
8) WATERLILY, cardigan
De Rerum Natura Albertine together with Filcolana Tilia or Sandnes Garn Tynn Silk Mohair.
9) CIMES
The allover lace sweater Cimes is a favorite knit! The classic pullover is made with Madelinetosh DK Twist, you may use Madelintosh Tosh DK or The Uncommon Threadin Everyday Sweater.
10) ROSEBAY
Cool summer nights are saved with the lovely Rosebay shawl. Easy shawl is knitted with Brooklyn Tweed Loft, and De Rerum Natura Ulysse or Tukuwool Fingering would substitute well.
11) LAKKA
Lakka cardigan has a beautiful berry patterned yoke, which would look great in The Fibre Co Arranmore Light or wool yarn Lore.
