awakening It’s as if I blinked too long and missed the start. Suddenly, the pear trees are blooming with abundant white flowers and daffodils are tall and bold against a backdrop of dark grasses. Just one day ago, it was winter with dull, gray skies and starkly empty trees. And then, a day later, the earth is abuzz under my feet with a pulsing rebirth. Revival. Growth. Change. Awakening. It is that explosion of colour that drives a certain point home: the energy and effort that went into making it all has been churning beneath the surface. In the quiet dark of winter, the internal work was all about re-defining and nourishing for a new, amazing season of growth. Putting a spring + summer collection together feels like that.

For months and months, our team of dyers and designers have been busily putting all the pieces into place so that the colours and yarns burst off the page as brightly as those new blooms outside. A new sense of wonder and play invigorate the crafting mindset. The designers in this collection harness that beautiful spirit, with pieces and silhouettes that are whimsical, playful, and light. Soft fibers meet addictive stitches and spirited colour for knits that are the essence of the season. Whether you crave a flirty garment or a sophisticated accessory, we hope the pieces in our Spring with SweetGeorgia collection ignite a revival in your knitting in the warming days ahead. Happy knitting, dear friends. #sweetgeorgiayarns

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 Spring with SweetGeorgia, Vol. 4 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.
