Lace Heirloom Stitches + Inspiration

Posted by Christina Rondepierre on July 21, 2017

Lace knitting has a rich tradition in many cultures worldwide. Place-specific histories, techniques and garments are especially present in Shetland and Estonian knitting. While there has been much written about lace knitting, there are a few books in particular that come to the forefront when we are looking for lace knitting inspiration. Many of the stitches found in these books are heirlooms which have been used for generations and are rare to find in print.

Introducing a New Capsule Collection: Michele Wang for Brooklyn Tweed

Posted by Jared Flood on January 18, 2017

Posted by Jared Flood on August 25, 2016

One of Jared’s intentions in creating his Woolens collection was to introduce a variety of knitting techniques in approachable projects.

WOOLENS by Jared Flood

Posted by Jared Flood on August 17, 2016

Announcing Woolens, Jared’s first printed book and single-designer collection since Made In Brooklyn seven years ago! Most knitters cut their teeth on simple accessories like scarves and hats. And for most of us there’s comfort and satisfaction in returning to such projects even after we’ve expanded our skills to become garment knitters. Maybe we need something finite to whip up for a friend’s birthday, or maybe we just want an uncomplicated palate cleanser after a strenuous cabled coat or a colorwork sweater. In homage to soothing, approachable knits, Jared decided to design a whole collection of accessories in his thoughtful,...
