Have you met Spud and Chloë?

Spud & Chloë is a line of luxe yarns in mod colors, all carefully selected to let you create dreamy pieces from soft baby socks to chunky sweaters, chic fashions and extra special presents.

Yarns By Design carries a wide range of colors of all three of the Spud & Chloë lines — Fine (shown above at left in color 7801, Glow Worm), Sweater (shown above at center in color 7514, Turtle) and Outer (shown above at right in color 7210, Hedge). In addition to these wonderful yarns, we are proud to offer Spud & Chloë patterns.

Made of superwash 80% wool/20% silk, Fine is a sock-weight yarn that is ideal for Fair Isle and detailed work — and of course, some pretty fancy footwork. Sweater is a superwash 55% wool/45% organic cotton in a worsted-weight. Made of superwash 65% wool/35% organic cotton, Outer is a super bulky weight yarn that is just the thing for a quick knit!

Stop by the boutique today to get acquainted with Spud & Chloë!

Save 40% on our remaining stock of Mission Falls products!

Like everyone in the fiber arts community, Yarns By Design was saddened to hear that, after 19 years in the business, Mission Falls had closed it's doors at the beginning of this year. But the knit and crochet world's loss can be your gain. While supplies last, our remaining stock of 1824 Wool, 1824 Cotton and Mission Falls pattern books is now 40% off. All sales are final, and this discount may not be combined with any other discount.
