Dear Knitter,

Welcome to your Saturday!

Ready to start knitting? Flip through our brand-new, shoppable Field Guide No. 26 Lookbook. External Link. Opens in new window. or jump straight into the One-Stop Shop. External Link. Opens in new window. to see the special new yarns we’ve brought into the MDK Shop for this Field Guide.

MDK Field Guide subscribers have shopped these yarns so enthusiastically that we’ve already had to restock twice—so get in there and get in on the fun.

So Much Cool Stuff

We have frankly outdone ourselves in terms of cool stuff related to this divine little book. We invite you to join us for all of it.

Watch the launch party on Zoom!

Last Monday, Hélène Magnússon zoomed in from Iceland to celebrate the publication of this Field Guide. The inspiration factor was off the charts. If you missed it, no worries—here’s the recording. External Link. Opens in new window..

Bang Out a Sweater 2024!

Beginning March 1, our epic knit-a-whole-sweater-in-a-month extravaganza is back, starring the Crowberry Sweater. External Link. Opens in new window.. Stay tuned for details on this exhilarating MDK tradition.

Virtual Workshop with Lorilee Beltman!

During March, legendary teacher Lorilee Beltman will lead three in-depth sessions on the making of a sweater, in particular the Crowberry Sweater. Lorilee is a dream of a teacher, and you’ll leave this class with tons of wisdom and new skills. Even if you’re already a sweater knitter, you’ll gain a lot from this class.

We had a big time on MDK this week.

About those yarns. They’re made with wool from Icelandic sheep. They are not like other yarns. We’re so fascinated.

Plotulopi. External Link. Opens in new window. is a single strand of Icelandic wool, unspun. Airy, light, and warm as toast.

Love Story Einband. External Link. Opens in new window. is the fruit of Hélène’s imagination: a laceweight yarn, in Icelandic lambswool.
