joyfully sweet “It was the color of someone buying you an ice cream cone for no reason at all.” — Lemony Snicket An ice cream shop is a place of wonder. Brightly lit cases of mint, peach, cream, and sunny hues of every flavor, the aroma of churned milk, and the sweet array of toppings are like a celebration of all the good things in life. All the good things like laughter and hugs, family and friends, hope and delight, a sense of belonging and peace … we’ve infused that spirit into this new mini collection, Confections.

Playful, bold colours with simple construction are at the core of these four designs. Hints of texture and versatile silhouettes sized from tiny babes on up to adults promise something for just about everyone. The yarn becomes the ice cream shop with the beautiful personalization it offers. Modeled by the delightful kids from our own studio family, these pieces can’t get any sweeter! May your knitting be forever inspired and deliciously fun. #sweetgeorgiayarns

Like that first taste of ice cream or the first stitch with your new yarn ... simple, unfettered joy in the moment.

CREAM & SUGAR worked in Flaxen Silk DK

A little bit of colour in a fun, top-down construction makes for a pairing nearly as perfect as cream and sugar, especially when knit in our Flaxen Silk DK. Sized for the whole family, this pullover is a great intro to sweater knitting for year-round, beautiful wear.

ALL THE TOPPINGS worked in Superwash DK

Four bold colours come together like a dream in this log-cabin style blanket. Simple garter stitch emphasizes the playful hues for a blanket that is as comforting to knit as it is to snuggle under.

A hint of texture, not too unlike the pebbled feel of an ice cream cone, touches the hemline and cuffs of this traditionally-constructed raglan cardigan. Cozy, comfy, and perfect for laying, it’s a breeze to whip up for both moms and kiddos.

SPRINKLES ON TOP worked in Superwash Worsted

This hat and scarf set is just as fun and colourful as sprinkles on top of ‌ everything! With short, simple patterning and easy-tofollow construction, Fair Isle is wonderfully accessible to every knitter, promising ample opportunity for play and exploration.

our yarns Passionate. Relentless. Unapologetic Colour. There is something impossibly alluring about hand-dyed yarns. Everything from vibrancy to the subtle nuances in shade and hue. We develop and source the kinds of yarns we love to knit, weave, and play with. Yarns that begin with fine wools, blended with silk or decadently soft cashmere and kid mohair. Yarns that are beautifully spun and plied for strength and longevity. We believe in creating yarns that will become the foundation for fabrics, garments, and gifts that will endure. Here are the yarns used in the Confections collection:

seasonal colours

// NEW FOR SPRING + SUMMER

Like tiny dew drops kissing the tips of budding crocus blossoms in the morning sun, our new Spring colours are soft, fresh, and joyful. Inspired by the newness of the early season, from early daffodils to unfurling leaves to the soft down of a sweet baby duck, these new Spring shades are both tender and bright. These colourways are seasonal and available for one year until Spring 2020.
