Ruby And Roses Yarn

Hand balms ✨ are the perfect add-ons to your orders this shop update, as they’re just that extra little something to enhance your making experience this summer! Martha & Jeff- Tuft®️Soaps & Balms makes the most amazing lanolin-enriched hand balms that not only moisturize but also leave your hands and knits smelling so lovely! Fresh Air and Cucumber Peach are my absolute favorites and ones that I’ll be pulling for the rest of summer and honestly beyond!!

Our highly requested custom Wild Rose scent will also be coming back with pretty high quantities! I’m so glad y’all wanted this one to return, because it was a perfect excuse to reorder and restock my personal stash. 😂

I hope you enjoy this photo shoot because I just had the best time highlighting some of my favorite squares from my that I’m almost all caught up with!!

Our once a year mystery pack sale is here, and I set out to make them extra special this time around! 🎨✨

Each pack will have a speckled one of a kind, most of which have been specially dyed by me just for this update!! I’ve created two new colorways for each of the warm and cool toned options: the blue and purple ones for the cool tones, and the pink and yellow ones for the warm tones — all four of which are shown here!! I have to say the blue one of a kind turned out better than I could’ve dreamed, so I might just have to do something similar for a one of a kind drop in the future! 👀

These packs feature skeins from past collections – like extras from I Wanna go to Maine, and some from The French Edit that were set aside due to dye breaks, or white sections caused by tight ties that made for more variation. There are also a bunch of one of a kinds that were prototype experiments where I tried out dye styles for potential new colorways.

We really hope to select a pack that you will love, and a great way to help us do that is to leave a note with your order letting us know if there are any colors you wouldn’t want to receive or if there’s a specific colorway/shade you’re crossing your fingers for!!

All in all, I feel like these combos are really special. Each one has been hand-picked and curated by me and my team to create a cohesive sampler pack of colors that didn’t quite make the cut, but are fun all the same.

Baskets + 20% off Mystery Packs + Minis • will be coming to the shop this Friday, August 14th at 6pm ET! Hope to see you there!! 🫶🏻

I love how excited y’all are for the basket update, and can’t wait to hear if you find shaping them as therapeutic as I do. 😌

All of your baskets will arrive folded, and it’s so easy to shape them! Every order will include a card that walks through the quick three step process!

Swipe if you’re curious to see some of the other styles and colors that will be coming in Fridays update as well as a peek at how much yarn they can *really* hold. 😏

Make sure you head to my stories tomorrow and pop in any questions you have, as I plan to spend Thursday and Friday chatting with you guys about all things basket related + anything else related to Friday night’s update!! ✨



The sweater size basket colors have me OBSESSED!! And I’m loving the sizing - perfect for your garment cast on’s this autumn!!

Like just look at how perfect these colors are and I feel like the entire box is full of potential favorites! 😍

For a more lightweight sweater or 2 skein shawl WIP, this is such a good choice! Especially if you love looking at your project like I do, and want something a bit more visible. 😌

The cutest lil tray that’s amazing for a sock WIP to sneak a few rows in between meetings or as a break in your workday, that also doubles as a fun addition to your desk!

If you’re reading this far, I know you’re locked in. 😏😆 So let me show you the most satisfying little motion that brings your basket to life!

Just add water and its magic appears! I find it oddly satisfying to shape these, making the edges look just so. More details in the order cards to follow!

All that intricate weaving design is just so pretty!! Those multicolor ones are so so special, and I know y’all are going to have the best time picking some yarn to coordinate! 🙃

And speaking of your desk set up, are you looking for the perfect home for your pens? We’ll have you covered! Let us know if you want a smaller one for pens or larger one for yarn, since I couldn’t help but put a few cakes in the one in the back.

The smallest size with handles is so compact, making it such a practical choice – perfect for on the go knitting, when you just need your needles and a few skeins!!

A peek at just a few of the different patterning options we’ll have in Friday’s basket update!! I wanted to share some of my favorites and as you can tell it was impossible to narrow them down, so I just kept going until our living room was full. 😆 You’ll have to let me know which style/color is your favorite!!

I hand-picked each and every basket from our supplier, and I feel like that extra effort has really paid off and was totally worth it! My hope is to elevate your shopping experience, knowing each basket has been thoughtfully selected by me! You will have the option to choose warm or cool colors depending on your preference, and we will ship you one we FEEL meets that criteria! For instance, if a basket is mostly natural with pops of pink, orange, and green, it will go with the warm tones, but if a basket is mostly blue and green with a pop of pink, it will go with the cool tones!

Further customization can be made by leaving a note with your order sharing the colors you like and dislike, and we will do our best to accommodate those preferences, given the uniqueness of each basket!

The sample featured in this post is the by PetiteKnit // Mette, knit by Emily M, highlighting two colorways from our French Edit Collection — Déjà Vu and Provence — that seriously make for the prettiest pairing!!

Handwoven Artisan Baskets • along with a few more special items • will be coming to the shop Friday, August 14th @ 6pm ET! I’m so excited to keep sharing the products I have planned for this update, which will ALL be ready to ship!

I’m interrupting the basket content to share a few more up close photos of my latest sample knit by Emily M that is so perfect for the end of summer! Knit using my Azur Élégance colorway from the French Edit collection, that also just happens to be our second bestseller from the collection, which makes me so happy!!

This colorway is one of my favorites from the palette because it has so much dimension within the skein and the layers make for the best stitch definition, that looks so polished - now just to find the perfect buttons to pull it all together! If one of our French Edit colorways has been on your shopping list, I’d recommend snagging it soon since it will not be restocked again after this week! So get those dyed to order purchases in soon, so we can dye up just what you need!!

I feel like this design has the potential for a lot of different looks – whether you choose a more relaxed look like I’m going with here, or an elevated look by layering a lace top underneath for the perfect texture mix!

I’m SO excited to share something that’s been in the works for months - handwoven artisan BASKETS!!

Baskets of all sizes and styles will be coming in the update next Friday!! I’ve really missed having them in the shop, and I know you all have too, which makes me so happy! 🥹

I feel like they’re a great conversation starter, (because how often do you see a beautifully woven basket full of pretty yarn?! 😏) each featuring their own unique style and personality - with no two being alike!

To me, they’re designed to be combined with other creative elements in your making space, living room, or home office. I’ve had so much fun curating baskets that match the color palettes of different rooms in my house, filling them with knitting projects, and experiencing firsthand the joy that’s found in utilizing them as a piece of home design.

Each one has its own color story woven throughout, since each one is handmade by women in Ghana who make these baskets as a way to provide for themselves and the people they love. I just love getting to support other artists professionally and personally, and I know you all feel the same. 🫶🏻

Handwoven Artisan Baskets • along with a few more special items, will be coming to the shop Friday, August 14th @ 6pm ET! I’m so excited to keep sharing the surprises I have planned for this update, which will ALL be ready to ship!

I feel like this combo needs its own moment on the grid. 🥹 I told ya that this duo was amazing but in case you weren’t sure about it, just LOOK at that color play. 😍 I can’t stop staring at Party Dress on suri, and styling it with the minis instantly makes me want to cast something on.

Swipe to peek another Party Dress pairing idea, that features tonals from our latest summer collection!

These will be available and ready to ship August 14th at 6pm ET along with a few other surprises!

HOPSCOTCH ☀️ a chalky bright collection of 20g minis that simply encapsulate joy, when looking at those hues of bright pink, melon and dusty lilac, contrasted with justtt a touch of moodiness in there making the palette feel effortlessly dynamic. I just love those rich shades of mulberry and glowing orchid in that one mini that turned out soooo dark, which is why it feels so special. Not to mention that rich teal that has layers upon layers of blues and greens!

It also happens to be the PERFECT pairing for my Party Dress colorway that I couldn’t resist snapping a few photos of to share with y’all in tomorrow’s post! It mixes the poised and polished, with an edge of playfulness. 😎

Party Dress + Hopscotch • along with a few other special products, will be coming to the shop Friday, August 14th @ 6pm ET! I’m so excited to share the surprises I have planned for this update, that also happens to be ALL ready to ship!

PARTY DRESS 💃 a polished cream with the most unapologetically feminine speckles.

The smattering of light pinks and charcoal gray speckles are so simplistic, applied with what has the appearance of pinpoint precision, reminding me of the soft sparkle of sequence that makes an appearance in the classiest of dresses. ✨

A few of you might remember this colorway from years past as this was one of the very first ones I created that has continued to come back, even as my dye style has evolved - leading to a slight revamp of this colorway where I changed the base from a yellowish ivory to a this icy cream. I’m LOVING the change and I hope you do as well!

It honestly makes me so happy to see how many of you took the time to write me an email requesting a restock! 🥹 I saw every one, and knew as soon as I created the OOAK mini set that’s coming tomorrow 👀 that the timing was meant to be.
