We brought the Chaski in last summer and I adore it. I made my Ooh La La out of it and it's great this time of year. This blend has been specially developed using the softest pima cotton, which is springy and structured, mixed with superwash merino wool. Easy knit and easy care, meaning it can be washed in the machine over and over without losing its softness.

Amano's Chaski is a fi*****ng-weight blend of 60% superwash merino/30% cotton/10% linen. Each 100g ball has 383 yards. Machine wash. $24.50

A summer top with a simple stockinette front and broad lacy slits on the back. Tsuzumi is an amazing interchangeable top that you can wear with the opening in the front or back. Plus, if you tie the slit edges at the front or tie at the back, you can enjoy different styles in 4 ways. Look at all the stylings on Ravelry. 3-5 skeins.

Isabelle Kraemer's Topolino in this Chaski would be a fabulous summer evening sweater. The crisp yarn would show off the lace beautifully. And you could wear it out to Dover's newest restaurant by the same name, Evan Hennessey's Topolino. 3-5 skeins.

This yarn was actually introduced as Amano's sock yarn. Who knew? Consider the Botanica Socks with their beautiful leafy lace. The special thing about this pattern is that you can knit them toe-up or cuff down! They are worked in the round and the instructions are provided for both methods, so you can use your preferred one. 1 skein.

We add more colors of this line every year. Sun and natural come together! Organic pima cotton and fine merino wool in a cabled twist lofts beautifully with big yardage. A cool summer color palette reminiscent of opening a box of saltwater taffy! This is one of our most popular multi-season yarns.

Plymouth's Sea Isle is a worsted weight blend of 50% merino wool/50% pima cotton. Each 100g ball has 329 yards. Hand wash. $19

The Tolsta Tee is a perfect basic raglan t-shirt that can be the canvas for all of your creative ideas. The pattern includes the instructions for the tee, plus an extra document with resources on how to customize the Tolsta to your liking, including stripes or eyelet rows. 2-4 skeins.

The Autumn League Pullover is a crewneck raglan sweater. The doubled ribbed neckband, v-insert neck triangle, and side slit details give personality and add to the classic appeal of this sweatshirt-inspired wardrobe staple. Meant to be well-loved and well-worn, it would look great in this marled yarn. 3-7 skeins.

The Saturday Sweater is the perfect crochet topper for the weekend - or any day! It’s surprisingly fast, easy to crochet, and even easier to wear. And best of all, it comes in 8 sizes, using 3-4 skeins.

Bear Paw Sock has been a fan favorite since it was introduced for Sock Squad and now it is a permanent addition to FDF! This 3-ply yarn has great stitch definition, and the grey yak makes the colors come out richer. Use it for socks, sweaters, and everything in between. You can pair this yarn with Oh Dang! for texture. Please note the yak in this yarn is a NON-SUPERWASH, so we recommend hand washing anything you make with Bear Paw, including socks, to avoid any possible felting.

The Farmer's Daughter Bear Paw Sock is a fi*****ng-weight blend of 70% superwash merino/20% yak/10% nylon. Each 100g skein has 437 yards. Hand wash. $32 (no discount)

Light, airy and perfect for wearing wherever this season takes you, the Springline Tee is ready to join your handmade wardrobe. It is a drop shoulder sweater worked from the top down. 2-5 skeins

Have you ever seen a cuter toe?? Inspired by Andrea Mowry's Ooey Gooey sweater, these socks will be the star of your sock drawer. The Ooey Gooey Sock Set takes one of each color with leftovers.

Starflight are knit from the top down, with a 1x1 ribbed cuff and a large quilt-inspired star on the front and back of the leg, with vertical lines on the sides. The socks have a flap and gusset heel, a quilted texture on the top of the foot, and a row of flying geese triangles above the toe. 1+1 skeins.

We brought this yarn in last Spring and couldn't keep it on the shelf! Back with even more colors and interesting designs by Yumiko Alexander. A unique combination of raw silk with a little spec of colors and silky cotton. Silk + is a very comfortable to knit and wear, it feels like cotton.

DanDoh Silk + is a DK-weight blend of 76% mulberry silk, 24% mercerized cotton. Each 50g skein has 227 yards. Hand wash. $21.50

Low Tide is an asymmetrical top shaped with tuck stitches. Tuck stitches worked only on one side of the top pull the knitted fabric up on that side. The shorter right side and longer left side create visual interest.
The eyelet stitch pattern between some tucks gives a light and feminine effect. 6-7 skeins.

The DanDoh signature cable, in Forest Weave, uses a dropped-stitch design that makes an eye-catching piece. This stitch pattern combines cables and dropped stitches. You will drop a stitch when you cross stitches for a cable. If you know how to work cables, you are good to go! 4-8 skeins.

Fusion has sleeves, uses a lighter weight silk yarn with tighter gauge, and it can be worn as a sweater for different seasons. It’s assembled with four panels using the join-as-you-go method. This method of joining is fun, makes a cable-like texture, and adds character to the top. Using two colors shows off the cable-like texture. 3+2 to 5+3 skeins.

This is one of my most favorite days of the year at the shop! Come, this Saturday, April 25th from 11-6, and celebrate Local Yarn Store Day! We have exclusive hand dyed colorways, free patterns, a trunk show, and the collectible LYS 2026 enamel pins. I hope you can make it!

Local dyer, ontheround, dyed us our very own colorway called Lovely, Dark, and Deep, as a nod to the Robert Frost poem. I'll let you guess the colors in the skein. It's on her Nimble Sock base, a fi*****ng weight blend of superwash merino and nylon. I've designed a cabled hat called Through the Forest that uses one skein, double stranded. $29/skein.

Pins! Limited quantities of this year's LYS Day pin are free with purchase or $5 otherwise.

We now stock all three bases of DanDoh Yarns and are hosting a mini trunk show featuring designs by Yumiko Alexander.

Remix Wool DK takes everything you love about the original Remix line and refines it into a lighter-weight favorite. This blend of 100% recycled fibers and wool offers enhanced stitch definition and drape with an eco-conscious approach. The tweedy palette adds sophisticated depth to delicate textures and intricate cables, creating polished, wearable designs that transition beautifully across seasons.

Berroco's Remix Wool DK is a DK-weight blend of 38% wool/28% polyamide/22% cotton/7% acrylic/5% other fibers. Each 100g ball has 327 yards. Machine washable. $14.50

Ship Shape is knit seamlessly, top down, beginning with 2 separate pieces for the shoulder gussets. The yoke is a drop shoulder/raglan hybrid, making it perfect for playing with stripes. We have so many classic color combos! Body and sleeves are knit in the round. 2+2 to 3+3 balls. For the record, I brought this yarn in just so I could knit this sweater.

Simple cable columns, stockinette stitch, and a sideways construction combine to create an easy, refined style in the Brookline pullover. Cables wind from one sleeve cuff across the top of the sweater and down the other for a beautiful focal point that adds fun while you’re knitting too. 4-8 balls.

Soothing stockinette and bands of broken rib highlight the texture of Remix Wool DK and create a lightweight triangle shawl that’s perfect for adding to any outfit. The crisp mornings and cool nights of spring and fall often call for an extra layer, and Arlington fits the bill beautifully with just enough warmth and an easy to wear shape. 3 balls.

Foxy Lady is a soft, strong superwash merino and silk blended into a single ply. The added silk gives Foxy Lady a beautiful drape, but doesn’t cause pilling. We absolutely love this yarn for shawls and flowy tanks!

Foxy Lady is a light fi*****ng-weight blend of 70% superwash merino and 30% silk. Each 100g ball has 428 yards. Hand wash. $32 (no discount)

Tegna is one of those designs that has been in my queue forever. The silk in this yarn would give it excellent drape. I'd do it on the cropped side. 2-5 skeins.

One skein will make the Birds and Ships Cowl. This bandana shaped cowl is knit from the top down, starting with a garter tab cast on. The first section of the pattern is worked flat, then joined in the round and worked in the round for the remainder of the design.

The young people love little tanks and tees, like the Summer Secret Crop. This free pattern only takes 1-2 skeins and is very size inclusive.
