July-September Giving Project - Material Planning Guide

July-September Giving Project - Material Planning Guide

Posted by Maya Gooding on Jun 29th 2022

Our July-September Giving Project features a crochet and knit project by two talented designers. From Jessie Mae we knit the Cozy Classic Raglan. We love the easy-to-wear, ultra classic design! The very joyful and adorable crocheted Confetti DK Pullover comes to us from Sandra Gutierrez (a.k.a. Nomad Stitches). Your yarn purchase for either of these projects will help support the Philipstown Behavioral Health Hub!

For the knit project, we made our sample in Shibui Haven, an ultra-luxe, light-as-a-feather extra-fine Merino/Cashmere blend. We love the additional drape from the Cashmere mixed with the softness of the Merino - makes for a pretty excellent sweater, if you ask us!

For the crochet project, we made our sample in multiple colors of Less Traveled Yarn DK. Sarah (the dyer behind Less Traveled Yarn) is an absolute master at color combinations, nuanced dye techniques, and just all around special color combos. We made our own semi-faded version using a variety of our favorite colors!

Please note that the amount of skeins listed below is only accurate without alterations to the pattern, and to the yarn listed. If you would like to make the piece in another yarn or want to make changes to length, etc., please calculate your needed yardage independently or give us a call and we can help you out!
