June has been a good month in this shop.

We've had people sitting at floor looms for the first time, figuring out weaving techniques they'd been curious about for years. We've had makers out on the sidewalk in the sunshine, knitting in public and drawing curious looks from passersby. We've had Wednesday evenings full of projects and conversation and the particular warmth that comes from a room full of people doing something they love.

It's the kind of month that makes you stop and think about why you started making things in the first place.

So that's what we're curious about this week. What's a moment this year β€” a finished project, a class, a quiet hour with your knitting β€” that reminded you why you love this craft? Tell us in the comments. Photos always welcome. 🧢

Every yarn on our shelves has been touched before it got there.

That's not a figure of speech. Before anything finds its way into Ewe and I, someone here has held it, worked with it, made something with it, and decided it belonged. We don't carry products we haven't experienced firsthand β€” whether that's a maker who walked through our door because they believed in what we're doing and wanted to be part of it, or a yarn from overseas that we ordered, cast on with, and couldn't stop thinking about.

It takes longer that way. But it's the only approach that makes sense for us.

Ewe and I was started by Meg and Brad as a place where community could come together β€” a space that was genuinely welcoming, unhurried, and rooted in the belief that making something by hand is one of the most quietly powerful things a person can do. That founding philosophy shapes everything, including how we decide what belongs on these shelves.

We look for products that reflect that same care. Yarns made with attention to sustainability and fair labor practices. Indie dyers who put real artistry into every skein. And yes β€” brilliantly sparkly, joyfully colorful yarn that exists for no other reason than it makes people happy, because that belongs here too. This shop is for every kind of maker, and our shelves should reflect that.

What we're really asking when we evaluate a product is simple: does this belong in a place built for community, craftsmanship, and the joy of making? If the answer is yes, you'll find it here.

If you've ever wondered why something caught your eye at Ewe and I β€” that's why. 🧢

If there was ever a month to knit a pair of rainbow socks, this is it. 🌈

We have the Urth Yarns Uneek Sock Kit in the shop right now, and honestly β€” look at it. This is the Harmony Special Edition, and it is exactly as joyful in person as it looks in these photos.

Here's what makes this kit a little bit magical: it comes with two matching balls of hand-dyed sock yarn, engineered so that the stripes develop on their own as you knit in the round. No color-switching, no ends to weave in, no math. The rainbow just happens. Both socks match. It almost feels like cheating, except that you still get to do all the knitting.

A few details worth knowing:
🧢 75% superwash merino wool, 25% nylon β€” soft, sturdy, and machine washable
🧢 440 yards total β€” enough for one full pair of socks
🧢 Hand dyed by Urth Yarns in their studios in Mersin and Istanbul

This one is in the shop now. Stop in and see it for yourself β€” it's even better in person.

06/16/2026

There are some things a photo almost gets right β€” but not quite.

The way a skein of hand-dyed yarn shifts color when you hold it up to the light. The way a yarn cake forms as it winds, the colors layering into something new. The particular satisfaction of a fiber you just want to keep touching.

This is what it looks like inside the shop on any given day. Come see it for yourself sometime.

We live in a world that has a very strong opinion about how your time should be spent.

Faster. More efficient. More productive. Always optimizing, always moving, always with one eye on the next thing. Even rest gets scheduled now. Even hobbies get turned into side hustles. It's relentless in a way that most of us have just quietly accepted because there doesn't seem to be another option.

And then you sit down with your knitting.

Or your crochet. Or your weaving. And something shifts. Not because the world gets quieter (it doesn't, not really) but because your hands are busy with something that doesn't care about any of that. Something that asks nothing from you except your attention, one stitch at a time.

That's what we think about a lot here at Ewe and I. Not just yarn, not just classes, but the particular kind of peace that comes from making something slowly, by hand, on purpose.

It looks different for everyone. Maybe it's an hour after the kids go to bed. Maybe it's a Saturday morning with a coffee and no plans. Maybe it's the Wednesday circle, or a class where you finally learn the thing you've been meaning to learn for years.

But it's yours. And it matters.

πŸ’¬ We'd love to know β€” what are you making this week? Tell us in the comments.

This Saturday, we're taking it outside.

Join us for Knit in Public at Ewe and I β€” June 13th β€” where we'll have outdoor seating set up along the sidewalk as well as our usual cozy indoor space. Bring your project, grab a friend, and come make something in the sunshine.

There's something quietly powerful about knitting in public. It slows you down in the middle of a busy Saturday. It starts conversations with strangers who stop to look. It reminds people of all ages that making something by hand is still one of the best things a person can do with their time.

That's exactly the point. The more people see us out here with our needles and yarn, the more this community grows β€” and the more people feel like fiber arts might be for them too.

Shona's CafΓ© will be open, the weather is supposed to be glorious, and there is absolutely no better way to spend a Saturday morning than knitting on the sidewalk with good company.
Come as you are. Bring whatever you're working on. All are welcome. πŸ§Άβ˜€οΈ

One week from today, five floor looms will be dressed and waiting.

If you've been on the fence about the Sample Weaving at Its Best class with Brad and Joan β€” June 16 & 17 β€” this is your nudge.

The whole premise of this class is removing the part that usually stops people: you don't have to dress the loom. Brad and Joan have already done it. Each loom is set up with a different threading and treadling, and your job is simply to weave. You'll work through four techniques β€” Clasped Weft, Undulating Twill, Pinwheel, and Overshot β€” and walk away with a woven sample from each one, plus the PDFs to take home.

All yarn is provided. Class size is capped at five students. There aren't many spots left.
Shona’s CafΓ© will be open 6 AM–3 PM on both days, so factor in time for a proper coffee before you settle in at the loom.

Remember the first time you walked into a yarn store?

Maybe you were a little nervous. Maybe you weren't sure if you were the kind of person who belonged in a place like that β€” if you knew enough, or could even tell good yarn from the basic stuff at the big box store.

Maybe you just stood in the doorway for a second, taking it all in. The color. The texture. The quiet hum of a place that takes making something by hand seriously.

For a lot of people, that first visit is the moment everything shifts. Before that, fiber arts was something you did alone, maybe a little self-consciously. After that, it starts to feel like something you belong to.

We think about that a lot. About how it feels to walk into a space like this for the first time, and how much we want that experience to feel like coming home rather than showing up somewhere you're not sure you're welcome.

If you've been thinking about stopping in β€” you are absolutely welcome here. Whether you've been knitting for thirty years or you just bought your first set of needles last week.

Some of you met this yarn during Yarn Crawl. A few of you have been asking about it ever since. We're happy to share that the last skeins of our Along the Chehalis yarn are now available to order online, and we wanted to take a moment to tell the story again for those who are just hearing it.

This yarn begins in 2004, when Meg and Brad started their dairy. The wool was almost an afterthought at first β€” a byproduct of sheep that were there for other reasons. Around 2010, a friend nudged them toward doing something with it, and every couple of years after that, they'd send a batch to the Olympia Yarn and Fiber Mill and wait to see what came back. What came back was an East Friesian wool β€” a middle-grade fiber with real character. Warm, sturdy, and grown right here in our corner of Washington. Made for sweaters, blankets, and hats. Made to last.

The 2023 shearing was the last. Brad and Meg sold their flock that year, and after more than a year of processing, this final run found its way to our shelves just in time for Yarn Crawl weekend. Now it's found its way online, too.

Meg was the heart and soul of Ewe and I. She was there at the beginning, she was woven into this community, and every skein of this yarn carries something of her in it. Knowing that this wool is going home with makers who will turn it into something lasting β€” that feels exactly right.

There won't be more after these. If you'd like to take a piece of this story home, you can find them in the shop or order online now. πŸ‘πŸ§‘

Sometimes the only thing standing between you and weaving is the part that comes before the weaving.

If you've ever looked at a floor loom and thought, "I want to try that β€” but where do I even begin?" β€” we have something for you.

June 16 & 17, instructors Brad and Joan are hosting Sample Weaving at Its Best here at the shop. Five floor looms will be dressed and ready to go. You just weave. Four techniques, all yarn provided, five students max.

No setup. No guesswork. Just you and the loom.

Register online β€” or stop in and we'll answer any questions.
