Secret Stash Club Reveal: Dusty Lilac

Image
Each month, we challenge ourselves to explore new and unexpected colours, often venturing beyond our comfort zones. However, our March Secret Stash Club colourway, Dusty Lilac, is a delightful exception—firmly rooted in my personal favourites. For once, we’re indulging in a hue that feels like a comforting neutral, effortlessly pairing with navy, grey, brown, beige, and black, and even serving as a subtle backdrop to brighter shades like magenta and turquoise. Sometimes it’s important to push boundaries… and sometimes it’s ok to just enjoy what you love. Say hello to ‘Dusty Lilac’, our March 2026 Secret Stash Club colourway! EMBRACE THE COMFORT OF DUSTY LILAC This month’s Dusty Lilac colourway is exactly in my comfort zone. If you saw two winter jackets, my latest pair of leggings, my notebook, my running shoes, and even my suitcase… they are ALL THIS COLOUR. Nearly my entire closet is some shade of desaturated purple with a hint of grey and brown. I wanted just one month where w...

Secret Stash Club Knitting: Jaunty Shawl

Image
For our March Club sample, the delightfully soft yarn base set the tone for everything. We wanted a pattern that would highlight the subtle hand-dyed variations while also being a joy to snuggle up in. Andrea Mowry’s Jaunty shawl was a perfect fit. Adaptable to a variety of yarn weights, it’s an enjoyable and relaxing project. The overall look is elegant and calming—ideal for when you want a gentle pop of colour without overwhelming brightness. THE DUSTY LILAC COLOUR STORY Our March Secret Stash Club colourway, Dusty Lilac, is a beautifully soft and muted blend of purples, featuring gentle undertones of grey and a touch of brown. The yarn displays a harmonious mix of lavender, mauve, and silvery lilac shades, creating a subtle, tonal effect that feels both cosy and sophisticated. Incredibly versatile, it is perfect as a chromatic neutral that pairs effortlessly with both understated and vibrant colours.

Horseshoe Bay Hat & SweetGeorgia Trifecta DK: A Perfect Pairing

Image
Who doesn’t love a new yarn? There is something special about trying a fresh new yarn base. You wonder how it feels on the needles, how it behaves at different gauges, and whether your favourite colourway looks just as beautiful. Is it better suited for sweaters or woven blankets? We ask the same questions every time we explore a new yarn. One of the best ways to get to know a yarn is by knitting a hat. Greta Cornejo decided to do just that with her Horseshoe Bay Hat with our new SweetGeorgia Trifecta DK yarn. Horseshoe Bay Hat; design by Greta Cornejo. Horseshoe Bay Hat The Horseshoe Bay Hat features a striking horseshoe cable running down the centre, framed by two columns of slanted cables. The rest of the hat is worked in a bubble stitch, adding texture, depth, and an extra bit of squish to the fabric. While this hat is only for her personal use, we couldn’t help but spotlight it. In the coming weeks, Greta writes about her process of combining stitch patterns, finding the r...

Small Notes, Better Fits: Recording Our Crochet & Knitting Projects

Image
You just finished the best sweater of your life. It fits beautifully, and you are already imagining it in different colours. Then life happens. You join a shawl make-along, start a pair of socks as a travel project, and months go by. When you finally return to that sweater idea, the only notes you can find are the yarn, colourway, and gauge. Or maybe you only make one garment a year and always forget your measurements, like the yoke depth. Having clear, thoughtful notes for every project makes a huge difference. This applies just as much to smaller projects like hats, mittens, and cowls as it does to sweaters. Any project that involves measurements for repeatable success benefits from good notes. In this post, we walk through what is helpful to record before, during, and after a project so you can return to your notes with confidence and enjoy more consistent results in both knitting and crocheting projects. At the end of this post, you will find a downloadable PDF that includes eve...
