Such a lovely, rhythmic knit. Thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. Cables look tricky but they a really not! It’s just knitting magic. Give them a go if you haven’t already.

Using our most popular yarn, Prosper DK, means it’s 100% local Merino soft, wears well, and knits up at a good pace. I used 350 grams for the medium size.

Are you vest knitting? We love Vests/Slipovers for in between weather like Spring and Autumn.
Vest knitting travels well during school holidays, it’s kinder on the budget than a big sweater project, and yields an almost year round garment (geography dependent!).
Celebrate Octobervest with us!!
Colour featured here is dripping with golden goodness: Sweet Sweet Manuka
Get in touch and we can send through some of our favourite pattern ideas and recommend yarns.

Theory brings shades from opposite sides of the colour wheel together. Each brings out the best in the other. Unexpected at first, then beautifully at ease together.
For the maker who loves the quiet thrill of seeing how it all unfolds, stitch by stitch. Swipe to see what we love it for:

Our Bossy Shawl Kit: a quick, beginner-friendly knit with plenty of colour to enjoy. (Search kits on our website, link in the bio).

A froufrou frock for a mouse. Even the smallest wardrobe deserves extraordinary colour.

A cake of Prosper DK, full of possibility.

The Novice Sweater by PetiteKnit // Mette pairing Theory with Maude on Mint for a soft, rich berry glow. More on mixing with Mint later.

That’s our Theory. What will you make of it?

You know it’s Socktober… but did you know it’s also Octobervest at Prosper Yarn?!

That means we’ve got a whole month of gorgeous vest patterns, kits, new yarns and special treats lined up for you.

Just look at Nicole Taylor Ceramics in Samuel, designed by Aurélie Tixier / Design tricot 🤎🖤

This is such a beautiful example of how a simple colour combination and clever yarn pairing can create something really special.

Nicole held two strands of Legend Dark Horse together with one strand of Mint Eos, creating a beautifully marled fabric with plenty of depth, texture and squish. And because apparently knitting the vest wasn’t enough… she made her own buttons too!!

We’re completely in love with this one and if you’ve been looking for your next satisfying knit, Samuel might just be it.

Keep your needles ready… Socktobervest has begun!
