A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR What does it mean for a yarn to be eco-friendly?

Through a variety of approaches, yarn companies can choose to reduce the carbon footprint of their products. Since 2008, Tahki Yarns has endeavored to do just that—and it’s done so with a carefully curated yarn line that has delighted knitters and stood the test of time. The Terra Collection consists of earth-friendly, knitter-friendly, beautiful yarns that feel good in the hands, on the needles, and in real life.

The yarns in this line pursue Tahki’s eco-friendly goal in different ways: some contain organic fibers, some are undyed, and some are minimally processed or result from eco-friendly steps in processing. No matter how they come to be, each of the yarns celebrates natural fibers and knitability.

We are thrilled to bring you this collection of designs worked in the six yarns of the Terra Collection. These projects show off the yarns while comprising a wardrobe of stylish essentials for the sophisticated woman. Big gauges, simple silhouettes, intriguing details, and a suite of neutral colors will charm your needles and set the tone for your autumn season.

In the following pages, discover the yarns and the designs; find inspiration in the photos of the garments and the technical details provided for each. To download the full knitting patterns, visit InterweaveStore.com today.
