We, like many in the knitting + crafting community, are deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Kathreen Ricketson, founder of WhipUp.net and Action Pack.
Kate recently did a small project with Kathreen for her Knitting Designer Series on WhipUp, and could not say enough lovely things about the experience – Kathreen’s professionalism, hard work, forward-thinking and dedication was inspiring.
We are thinking of her family, children, friends and coworkers at this sad and confusing time .
This week Courtney came back from Iceland and we couldn’t be more jealous of her trip- don’t worry, more blog posts coming soon! We can’t wait to tell you about the gorgeous scenery + the amazing sheepskin rug she brought back for Maura!
To see what else we’ve been up to, including Kate’s new Springtime Bandit in Sorrel, follow us on Instagram here !
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Botanical Knits contest. Our lucky winner is Victoria, #23!
Victoria says, “All the patterns are gorgeous, but I would love to make Autumn’s End. I also like the suggestion of using Road to China Light – what a lovely FO that would be!”
Victoria, please email us at info@kelbournewoolens.com to receive your prize. Happy Knitting!
This week we started the Manor House remodel, celebrated some birthdays, and took advantage of our new Vitamix (and Maura’s amazing smoothie making) for our daily dosage of deliciousness.

If you follow us on Instagram, you may have seen this picture:
and we hinted that there was a new item in our warehouse, but we decided to keep it secret until TNNA. It was hard, but now we can finally announce to the world that we have our own line of project bags!
Featuring 3 different knitting techniques: fair isle, lace and cabling, these bags are perfect for on-the-go knitters. Our project bags are 100% Organic Cotton and a square bottom to create the ideal bag for a traveling knitter. Plus, these bags are printed and sewn in the USA, and supporting American manufacturing is always an added bonus.
If you’re an LYSO interested in carrying our new line of project bags please contact us or your sales representative. We hope you enjoy them just as much as we do!
This week we released our new book, Kelbourne Woolens Volume One and had a great time at TNNA in the gorgeous, and warm, Southern California!
