As we savor the final warmth of summer, here at ReBelle we are moving into full Fall mode. This means planning sweaters, eyeing those wool yarns again, and of course, learning some new skills to make those fall projects just a little (pumpkin) spicier. While we love our year round knitters and crocheters, we are always excited to see the seasonal stitchers start popping back in as the weather gets cooler. We have a lot of great stuff planned for the next few months and we would for you to join us. It's going to be a great season!!

We have fresh colors of Wonderland Yarn's Mary Anne! We just love this yarn, and apparently, y'all do too because we were down to almost nothing on the shelves! We've got 8 variegates and 4 of their Colorbursts, which are perfect for assigned pooling projects. Mary Ann is a 85% superwash merino 15% nylon fingering weight blend in a hefty 114g/475yd skein. It's perfect for socks, shawls, or really just about any project that needs a fingering weight. If you need some inspiration for using the Colorbursts here are some patterns that use assigned pooling: Pool Party Socks, Amplitude Beanie, Happy Clusters (hat), Fizz (cowl), Bubble Pop Shawl (crochet), Make Peace (wrap), and Float (shawl).

Have you met Torzal yet? It's the newest yarn from Malabrigo: a Sport/DK-weight, 2-ply yarn made from 100% Superwash Merino wool with a unique construction inspired by the look of handspun yarn.
Each skein is created by twisting together two plies, each dyed in the same signature Malabrigo colorway. The result is a beautifully balanced yarn with gentle depth, subtle movement, and a softly textured, handspun appearance that brings every stitch to life.
Torzal offers excellent stitch definition while remaining wonderfully soft, making it a perfect choice for sweaters, shawls, accessories, and textured projects of all kinds.
Malabrigo has also released the Torzal Cowl and the Duna Scarf patterns for this yarn or try the Iridaceace Hat or Mitts. The hardest thing is picking which one of the 16 beautiful colorways you should try first!

From the creators of PLY, we are excited to welcome PURL magazine into the shop. Using the same innovative model used for PLY, PURL will spend each issue deeply exploring a single topic from every possible angle – the how and why, the history, the experiments, the answers to things we thought we already knew. The first issue, Cast On, has articles and patterns by some of our favorites including Kate Atherley, Denise Bayron, Patty Lyons, Xandy Peters, Sarah Schira, and Wooly Wormhead.

Emma's Crazy Beautiful Color for the month of August is a vibrant, juicy blend of strawberry watermelon pinky reds and tropical, citrus-y yellow. Like a fruity, refreshing pink lemonade! As usual, this colorway pairs perfectly with several other Emma's colors including Cactus Flower, Briar Rose, Shake, Just Add Salt, and Frog It!

For the August shop KAL/CAL, we will be playing with short row shaping using the pattern of your choice. Whether you choose a project with a traditional short row shaping like socks or a sweater or you go with something more adventurous like short row colorwork, this is sure to be a fun month. If you need some help deciding on a project, Robyn created a Ravelry bundle ( https://ravel.me/spingirl/srf ) with several pattern ideas. She is also available if you need help finding a pattern for a particular set of yarns or a project type.
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.

It's that time again, time for another anniversary celebration and this is a really big one!! We will be doing all the same shenanigans- 10% off your entire purchase for wishing us a happy birthday, a special sale only yarn dyed by us for you, and so many prizes that you'll think it's your birthday. Along with a good dose of our usual silliness.
This year's theme is the Roaring '20s and our sale-only yarn is the bee's knees. It's a fingering weight 93% superwash merino and 7% gold lurex blend with 437 yards per 100g skein. That's right, we are going with gold sparkles for that art deco feel!!
We will have more details next month. Thank you for 20 incredible years!!
