Day for Night

Creating a collection involves the work and creativity of many, many people. The Daylights and Nightshades yarns were my starting point and inspiration. These yarns are so nuanced and evocative in their own right, that I truly let the yarns speak to me and be my guide in the designing. Gradually, fragments of a story and characters emerged and with the help an incredible team of people, first and foremost, Emily Jones, our Art Director for the shoot, the designs took on a life of their own and emerged as you see them here, stolen scenes from stories yet to be told.

For the pieces themselves, I drew on my love of classic tailoring, classic film, and costume design to explore how our everyday clothes make us feel, not just in terms of comfort but in how garments have the power to make us feel more or less like ourselves, allowing us to dress up, dress down or step into a new role. Colors, textures and silhouettes all have the ability to shape how we walk through our days and our nights, shifting the lens of how we see the world and our ourselves in it.

We’ve created a cast of characters that we hope is as nuanced and varied as the knitters who work with our yarns.

We invite you to step into the story and make it your own...

We all knit for different reasons and enjoy different types of projects.

This collection offers a full range of skills and constructions–everything from flat pieces to hats to garments–in order to make working with our yarns accessible to a wide variety of knitters. We understand that the process of knitting is as important to knitters as the finished product, and we consider thoughtfulness to the knitter to be a hallmark of good design and good pattern writing. We hope you enjoy making these garments as much as you enjoy wearing them.
