If you’ve been putting off knitting a sweater because it feels like too big of a project, this is the one to start with.
Crazy Sexy Wool from Wool and the Gang is a super bulky yarn that gives you instant progress. Big stitches, soft texture, and a project that moves quickly from cast-on to finished piece.
We love it for the Gallant Sweater by Caidree. It’s a beginner-friendly, top-down design with a bold, chunky look, a cropped fit, and a simple short turtleneck. Straightforward to knit and easy to wear.
If you’re ready for a sweater that feels doable and fun, this is it.

Urth Yarns created the Patina Scarf kits to help us celebrate LYS Day. These sold out fast, but we now have some more in stock. Grab one today, if you've had your eye on these!
The Patina Scarf is a small triangular scarf with a reversible wavy rib texture and an optional pull-through detail that makes it easy to style and wear every day.
Knit with a strand of fine merino and a strand of variegated mohair, it creates a soft watercolor effect that shifts as you work. The combination of color and texture makes this a project you’ll enjoy every step of the way.
