\"ClassicAs our friends and family (and some of our fans) already know, Alexa and I are currently hard at work on our newest book… it’s still a surprise, but we will be sharing some juicy details soon.<\/h2>\n

But for the past year, here in Edinburgh, I have been working away behind the scenes to develop a line of hand-dyed yarns and knitting kits designed to work perfectly with our patterns!<\/p>\n

Here at Tin Can Knits we love to work with subtle kettle dyed yarns, and have a bias toward superwash wools… probably because we design so many baby things!\u00a0 And you will probably also know that we love a rainbow…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So without further ado I would like to announce my yarn + knitting kit line: Rainbow Heirloom!<\/p>\n

\"Rainbow<\/a><\/p>\n

To begin, I have created rainbow blanket kits which include a whopping 21 colours each! \u00a0<\/strong>There are also luscious single skeins in bright and bold colours.\u00a0 And in the coming months I will be creating sweater kits for some of our popular patterns, including Lush<\/a>, Snowflake<\/a>, and, Low Tide<\/a> and Windswept<\/a> (get Rainbow Mail<\/a> to hear when those launch…!).<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Classic<\/a>

\"RH-princess-rockstar-02\"<\/a>
Vivid Blanket Kit<\/a> – ‘princess rockstar’ rainbow… from palest peach to blood orange and deep dangerous purple.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"RH-sunshine-storm-02\"<\/a>
Vivid Blanket Kit ‘sunshine and storm’<\/a> rainbow… moody blues and stormy greys punctuated by bright rays of yellow.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"LushRainbow Heirloom yarns will be available primarily online, but my friend Jess at Ginger Twist Studio<\/a> is featuring Rainbow Heirloom Sweater<\/a> and Rainbow Heirloom Cash Light as her ‘yarns of the month’ for July… you can read more about them on her blog<\/a>, and stop by to pet the yarns in person if you are in Edinburgh!\u00a0 Jess has knit up a gorgeous cropped version of Lush in Rainbow Heirloom Sweater in ‘aussie sunshine’.\u00a0 I love that she never shies away from bright and bold colourways!<\/p>\n

What have I knit so far…?\u00a0 Well of course I made a little Antler cardigan as one of my first projects!<\/p>\n

And to test out the full rainbow, I made myself a big beautiful vivid blanket of course… (I’ll tell you more about that later!).<\/p>\n

And right now, I’m working on a Lush cardigan<\/a> just for me!\u00a0 Check out some more photos<\/a> of that work-in-progress on the Rainbow Heirloom blog.<\/p>\n
