One of the perks of designing knitwear is receiving shipments of beautiful yarns in the mail!
Lately I've received these two amazing packages of yarn for use in my current design collection.
First up... these lovely skeins from Tactile Fiber Arts.
These soothing naturally dyed colorways were created especially for the collection. I'll be sharing more about that later...but they are lovely and very special and fit into the theme of my project beautifully.
From this yarn, I've created this little knit. Here is a sneak peek for now.
Secondly I was recently sent two sweater's worth of yarns in these amazing colorways.. Bronze Age and Juniper from Pigeonroof Studios!
I can't tell you enough how much I am in love with these colors, and how perfectly they work with the design I have planned.
But do you know what's even more exciting than that?
Knitting with this yarn!
Yep! This is my final design for the collection and I'm almost done with it too!
The colors are blending beautifully and this yarn is unbelievably luxurious. I am enjoying every single stitch.
As you can tell.. there is a lot going on behind the scenes here at Never Not Knitting.
There will be a big reveal coming up soon! Stay Tuned!

Those yarns are gorgeous! And I love your photography. I'm an upcoming designer and would love to learn more about designing knitwear. How can I also get some yarn to try from different yarn companies?
So, so lovely - you have an envious position - being a designer and previewing beatuiful yarn. Not all of us are that talented in that area; we're lucky to have you Alana!
Ohh, ahhh... that's some super stunning yarn!Lucky you!
Lovely stuff!! :)
Just gorgeous! I can't wait to see the big reveal!
That stuff just looks gorgeous! I think both of those yarn artists will be at Sock Summit (I get to go!) and I will be sure to check them out!
Your sneak peak is yummy. Can't wait to see more.
So beautiful! Do you have an idea of when the collection will be published? I'm trying to decide on a Rhinebeck sweater for this year, and I'm really looking forward to seeing your women's garments. Your designs have a lovely aesthetic.
aYou little tease, can't wait to see what you are making.
I am sure I will have to have it.

See this is why they send them to you. Look what you've done with it! I can already see you're making something beautiful!
The photos of the new yarns are so lovely that I can almost feel the lovely hand of the wool.

The yarns are beautiful, and so are your designs!
It's so hard to wait!
These are utterly beautiful. I love the colours and can't wait to see what you are making!
The colors from Pigeon roof studios are fabulous. The other natural colored yarn looks so soft and creates wonderful stitch definition.
I cannot wait to see what you have been working on.
