Wool People 6

Wool People 6 is a perfect collection for late fall that focuses on cozy, intuitive-to-work sweaters. This time around, I asked the designers to think especially about the knitting process as they were generating their ideas. I was delighted to see so many submissions that were worked circularly, seamlessly, or both – and the majority of the sweaters in the final collection fall into one of these categories. (For you finishing fiends, we have a couple "assembly required" pieces as well!)
You'll see a few familiar faces on the designer roster as well as some wonderful new-to-us names, too.
To photograph the collection, the BT creative team and I traveled to the beautiful Shawangunk mountains for a weekend at Losee Cottage in Cragsmoor, New York. With the increased altitude, the colors of the leaves on the timeworn oaks and maples were much further along in their metamorphosis in mid-September than our low-lying city trees were.
The collection look book is now on view below (or page through it here and download a free copy of the hi-resolution PDF to take with you on your device). Be sure to check out our new "Shoot Notes" feature at the end of the book: a photo collage of behind-the-scenes photos that will give you a peek at what shoot days look like "behind the curtain".
In the coming weeks we'll have some exciting collection-related content coming your way. On the blog, I'll be hosting a series of conversations with selected designers from the collection for a more in-depth look at their new work. We'll also be featuring new photos and notes from the collection on our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feeds, too.
There's always so much packed into a collection, we continue to seek ways in which we can tastefully share as many facets with you as possible.
As always, we hope you enjoy!
All my best,
Jared

Could it be that this is your best collection? Of course, I think I say that about every one, but really, this time I mean it! I would knit each and every one of these, if I could possibly find the time. Fabulous!

Another wonderful collection! I especially love Svatland (spelling?) and the Bough cowl. And of course the photography is fantastic.

I think all of your collections up to date have been amazing but from this collection I have to say I adore the Trestle it’s beautiful. I love the natural colours and two tone mitred striping. Just beautiful.

I always look forward to your new collections – whether I ever make any of the patterns or not, the collections are inspiring (both the knitting and the beautiful photography!). I also appreciate that you have the patterns up on Ravelry right away so I can be sure to favorite them as I’m looking through the latest patterns. Since I don’t do sweaters (yet?), my favorites from this collection are the Bough Cowl and the Tree Rings Afghan.
I was at the Knitter’s Review Retreat this past weekend, and finally had the chance to see Brooklyn Tweed yarns in the marketplace, and the colors were just as tempting in person as I thought they would be from seeing them online. Of course, a lot of those skeins jumped in my cart and came home with me :)

Oh Jared… I do adore your Wool People collections – always such beautiful designs and breathtaking photography – but how will I find the time to make them all?? I am still catching up on your previous collections…
You and the other talented designers around you will keep me knitting for years to come. (Thank you for that!)
