It seems that every time we turn around, there's another beautiful new collection from Brooklyn Tweed to admire. We can barely keep up! But that doesn't make us any less thrilled to introduce Wool People 2, the newest collaboration between the Brooklyn Tweed team and their far-flung designing friends.

Spanning every imaginable knitting technique, these fourteen patterns perfectly showcase the skills and styles of their respective designers. Traditional styles like Estonian lace and Aran-style cables complement thoroughly modern designs in this eclectic collection. Featuring Brooklyn Tweed's 100% American wool yarns, Shelter and Loft, Wool People 2 shows off the complexity and versatility wool has to offer. Check out a few of our favorite pattern and yarn pairings below and let your inner Wool Person rejoice.

A twisted rib stitch pattern and radiating eyelet design give Winnowing tons of textural and visual appeal. Like a traditional Faroese Crescent shawl, its shape stays securely wrapped around shoulders to provide light and lofty warmth. Just a few skeins of fingering weight Loft complete Winnowing; try a tweedy neutral or vibrant color!

With its unique construction, delicate openwork design, and multiple styling options, Fuse is anything but a typical cardigan. It buttons at the shoulder, creating a cozy cowl neckline and intriguing drape front detail. Alternatively, leave the buttons undone for a cool, casual look.

All-over cables and deep ribbed trim give Ash touchable texture and provide extra warmth. Two strands of Loft held together create a plush Aran weight, but the yarn's light woolen-spun construction keeps Ash refreshingly free of stiffness or bulkiness. Its slim fit makes it a flattering, feminine upgrade on a basic sweatshirt or cardigan.

If you're not a "wool person" yet, Wool People 2 might just be worth converting for! It's a gorgeous tribute to knitters' favorite fiber and the immense talent of today's hottest knitwear designers.

We love getting to share what's hot in the yarn world with you, but sometimes it means saying goodbye to some old favorites to make room for the new. Sadly, Shibui Merino Worsted has been discontinued. This supersoft and hard-working yarn has been a favorite at the shop for years, and we are sorry to see it go.

But there's a pretty irresistible silver lining to this news: our remaining stock of Merino Worsted is on sale for 50% off the original price! It's the perfect opportunity to spring for that big project you've been dreaming of, or to pick up a skein for a quick project with incredible value.

From funky brights like Zinnia and Orchid to subtle neutrals like Stone, plenty of color options give you the freedom to create a variety of projects with Merino Worsted. Bonus: it's superwash, making it the perfect yarn for kids or any everyday wear garment. Stock up now and add this classic yarn to your stash before it's gone for good!
