MINIKIN MANIA!!

First came the Shawl Balls, which became our most popular yarn. Then there were Yarn Bombs, our biggest, baddest, longest ball at just shy of a 1/2 mile of yarn.
Now, we bring you the MINIKIN!

The Minikin is a munchkin of a ball at 25 grams and 107 yards. It's pretty much the cutest gradient you'll ever see
and hold in the palm of your hand.

We have been working on some fun patterns for these little cuties, so far we've added the Mismitts, the Brimfield Scarf, Passeggiatta Wrap and the Countdown Shawl - all designed to work with the Minikins. Other great options are to use them in yoked sweaters, use three for the wonderful Alaska Hat or use twenty for a baby blanket! In addition to being sold individually you will find them
in gift pack or Palette Packs of 9 balls
and  - coming soon - 24 balls for the Freia Fanatic!

Passegiatta shawl

I have an un-ending love of knitting zigzag stripes. I also have an un-ending love of the Minikins.
Here is the perfect marriage of both!

The Passeggiata uses a full Minikin Palette Pack - shown here in the Earthy colorway. This is an easy project, workable for most advanced beginners. It's a large piece but the color changes ensure that you never lose interest.

Visit the Passegiatta page to see the project in the Baby's Breath Palette Pack colorway, it's super soft and dreamy. 

Kitty' up!

We are excited to share BarbAnn Pappas' latest designs with you here! Her newest take on simple short-row patterning is used beautifully in the Song and Dance Shawl.

We have assembled a selection of yarn bundles as shown above in the designer's choice of Dusk and Charcoal plus an additional 9 more suggestions as picked by all of us at Freia Yarns. Order these as a set and get a discount and a tote to tote it all!

BarbAnn didn't stop there - using a similar pattern technique she created the Song and Dance Cowl. View this lovely new design and order the yarn bundles here.
