Madelinetosh Wool + Cotton

Thanks to everyone who visited today. It was crazy in the store and we had fun. There are going to be a lot of fibre lovers playing with yarn tonight. That includes me. After I hit ‘Publish’ I’m going to relax and knit.

Madelinetosh Wool + Cotton is a beautiful yarn. It is 50% Superwash Wool and 50% Pima Cotton. Because of the fibre content the colours are muted compared to most Madelinetosh colours. Until Tuesday evening it is on sale for $29 a skein. 

Tanis Lavallee’s Rock it Tee DK (pattern purchased on Ravelry) is a great pattern choice for Wool + Cotton.

I wore my light and airy fingering weight Rock It Tee so much this summer and as soon as the cool fall breezes started coming around I knew that I needed a cooler weather version to tide me over until the warm weather eventually returns. The Rock It Tee DK features all of the same details that I love about the fingering weight version, including eyelets at the raglan increases, I-cord bind offs and a combination of merino, mohair and of course lots of opportunity for customization with stripes. I’ve included instructions for both puff sleeves and slim sleeves so you can really make this sweater your own!

This is the Reset Slipover from Churchmouse Yarns. Both samples are knit in Wool + Cotton.

You can purchase the pattern for the Reset Slipover on the Churchmouse website.

This season-spanning piece is a reinterpretation of the Churchmouse Classics Sleeveless Slipover. The deep, ribbed hem and open side vents give the Reset Slipover a relaxed, easy style. With options for cropped and tunic lengths—and a clever yarn choice—it’s a versatile layering piece that’s great for any season. 

We knit the Reset Slipover in collaboration with Madelinetosh, selecting their brilliant Tosh Wool + Cotton for its year ‘round, easy-care aptitude! This DK-weight yarn is composed of 50% superwash merino wool and 50% Pima cotton, both ethically sourced in Peru. Lightweight, yet nice and substantial, Tosh Wool + Cotton is a great choice for transitional pieces we love to wear in the in-between seasons. It’s nice and resilient—machine-washable on gentle cycle. And then, there’s the palette of Madelinetosh’s gorgeous hand-dyed colors!
