Introducing the Amigas de Rosalinda Collection — nine brand-new colorways in our best-selling Malabrigo Rios yarn base.
Inspired by the classic ‘Rosalinda,’ this collection plays with a multicolored palette in subtle tones — a fresh twist on Malabrigo’s signature style. Together, they form a cohesive palette that’s perfect for colorwork, fades, or stand-alone pieces. We have Rosalinda joined by seven of her friends: Melissa, Zahara, Daphne, Celestina, Magnolia, Gardenia, and Delphira.
Like all Rios colors, these are hand-dyed on their 100% Superwash Merino wool, worsted-weight base — soft, strong, and ideal for everything from garments to accessories. Sarah was so inspired by these colors, she started knitting the Early Riser Baby Blanket (free pattern in shop) with Rosalinda, Daphne, Melissa, and Gardenia which she paired with a skein of Tosh Vintage in Daisy.

We are so excited to have locally-dyed, self striping yarns from Hinkston Handmade (formerly Rock and String) back in the shop after an oh so long hiatus. For those of you who haven't tried these wonderful yarns, Erin creates hand-dyed, self striping colorways inspired by the world around her in her home studio in rural Kentucky. Her sock bases are delightfully squishy and her color combinations never fail to surprise us. We are especially excited about her new Christmas colorway- Grandma's Reindeer Incident.

Introducing the new Zodiac Series from Emma's Yarn! As they follow the sun’s path through the cosmos throughout the next astrological year, they are releasing a Theme Pack and a Super Silky Trio for each of the twelve signs of the zodiac as they come up! We will have all 12 colorpacks and theme packs as they come out.
July 22nd marks the beginning of the fifth month of the astrological year, Leo. People born with the sun in Leo are said to be creative, expressive, and natural leaders. Emma's Leo Theme Pack and Super Silky Trio taps into leos’ charismatic nature that is ruled by the sun.

Just when you thought this summer couldn’t get any HOTTER…the Crazy Beautiful Color Club from Emma's arrives! Fresh squeezed juice and vibrant summer sunsets are what they're bringing to the picnic this August with fiery hues of orange and pink. This colorway is only made hotter by pairing with Born In A Barn, Very Berry, and Cactus Flower.

It is our favorite time of year- Knitted Wit National Parks Club season!!! Every month from May-August, Knitted Wit will release 4 new colorways inspired by National Parks areas, such as National Recreation Areas, Heritage sites, etc. This will be the final year for the National Parks Club so Knitted Wit is going to revisit their 16 most popular parks colors. For August we have Zion, Yellowstone, Great Smokey Mountains, and Grand Canyon National Parks.
As usual, there is a Passport to track your parks purchases from us and other local yarn shops as you travel through the summer. Due to Knitted Wit's announced closure at the end of August, there won't be a pin or patches this year for people who filled or bought 4 of the yarns, but we are working on a little something to commemorate the finishers this year. Stayed tuned. |
In the spirit of back to school, the next ReBelle knit/crochet along theme is Back to School and we will be working on a projects that teach us something new. Each person will pick their own pattern that teaches a new technique, uses a new material, or even in a color outside of your comfort zone and we will knit/crochet them together.
All ReBelle knit alongs are free and open to the public. You are welcome to attend as many or as few of the KAL sessions as you like.
