Emma’s Theme Packs

We received an email from Emma’s this week that select Theme Packs are being discontinued to make way for new colourways coming soon. We have marked down the discontinued kits.

Theme Packs are available online and in the store. See all the colours.

Lisa K. Ross (Paper Daisy Creations) has a beautiful shawl pattern called Perennial It is stunning! You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

Perennial plants, when cultivated, can be everlasting. They come back year after year, no matter what happens in between. Handknits, when carefully tended, are the same. This scarf is effortlessly knit on the bias, highlights your palette, drapes beautifully when worn, and will return year after year to keep you warm and stylish. It’s the perfect canvas to play with beautiful yarns, transitioning colors through a combination of garter, stockinette, and easy-to-knit wildflowers.

Lisa knit the shawl with a Theme Pack from Emma’s. You can knit the shawl with the Practically Perfect Small Theme Pack or the Super Silky Small Theme Pack. 










The pattern calls for a Theme Pack from Emma’s in Practically Perfect Sock. For the sample we used a Theme Pack in Super Silky. Super Silky is 80% Superwash Merino and 20% Silk. The drape is amazing.

From Emma’s Mom, Laura, who designed the shawl.

I live in the subtropics where we enjoy year round sunshine and hot sticky summers. I often find myself in a dilemma, do I dress for the weather outside or the weather inside? Outside the sun is blazing and inside the air is frigid, almost freezing! Enter Tropical Dilemma, the perfect take everywhere 

This gorgeous shawl is knit from the top down, beginning with a garter tab cast on. As you add increases to the spine and edges a triangular shape is formed. The simple repeat of knits and purl rows are memorizable and meditative, making this the perfect lazy day, knit night or Netflix project! Grab a kit of colorful yarn or use up bits from your beautiful stash, this shawl is all about letting the yarn do the heavy lifting so you can relax and enjoy!

Capricorn is a new Theme Pack coming next week.

I went way back again. This shawl is from November of 2016 - Winter Cove (pattern purchased on Ravelry) knit with 2 skeins of Malabrigo Rasta on 15mm needles.
A lightly-fulled single-ply yarn of magnum proportions! Whip out a super-cozy accessory in just hours with this super-sized delight of a yarn. Our premium Uruguayan merino is just as soft as ever, and Rasta comes in a range of our unique “watercolor multi” colorways as well as a rainbow of semi-solid basics. Unbelievably squishy, this is the yarn to turn to when you want the ultimate in warmth (or the ultimate in speed!)
Have a good evening. Stay safe tomorrow - hopefully they are wrong with how much snow we are going to get.
