Team USA’s Paris Blazers!
by on July 27, 2024

The Paris Olympic Games have begun, and you may have seen the blue wool blazers worn by Team USA athletes. Designed by Ralph Lauren, we think they’re quite striking. Of course, you may be wondering why we are talking about something that doesn’t seem to have any connection to Knit Picks or even knitting. Well, you guessed it! There is a connection, and it’s one we’re pretty proud of.

Our much-beloved, 100% American-made (and soon to be RWS certified) High Desert wool yarn is sourced from the same Oregon wool company that Ralph Lauren used …

Sedona Sunset Halfway Point
by on June 27, 2024

We’re almost halfway though the Sedona Sunset KAL, and knitters in the Knit Picks office are at wildly different places in their project! This is a long KAL that provides plenty of time to either take a steady pace or procrastinate a little and finish in the last couple of weeks. With only four balls of Chroma Worsted used, the wrap is faster to knit than you might imagine!


Janis, the inspiration for this KAL, is still in the lead with her wrap. She just completed her third ball of yarn and joined her fourth.

Kate is also on her fourth ball. Both Kate and Janis expect to finish long before the KAL ends.
