1. Start a Year-Long Blanket with Malabrigo Rios
January is the perfect time to embark on a year-long knitting project, and what’s more rewarding than a cozy blanket? Malabrigo Rios, with its soft, durable superwash Merino wool and stunning color options, is an excellent choice. Consider knitting a temperature blanket, where each color represents the daily temperature, creating a one-of-a-kind keepsake by year’s end.
Pro Tip: Use bold shades like Ravelry Red or Paris Night to make a vibrant, eye-catching statement.
2. New Year, New Sweater: Rowan Felted Tweed
Why not welcome 2025 with a wardrobe upgrade? Knit a lightweight sweater or cardigan using Rowan Felted Tweed. Its tweedy texture and versatile palette make it ideal for timeless pieces you’ll love wearing all year long.
Pattern Idea: Try a relaxed, boxy pullover with subtle colorwork details, or a classic cardigan with wooden buttons for an effortlessly chic look.
3. Embrace Fair Isle with Marie Wallin British Breeds
2025 is the year to challenge yourself with intricate Fair Isle knitting! Marie Wallin’s British Breeds yarn is perfect for colorwork projects, offering a harmonious palette of natural hues that blend beautifully. Start with a hat or mittens, or dive into a larger project like a Fair Isle yoke sweater.
Why It’s Worth It: Fair Isle projects are not only stunning but also deeply satisfying, giving you a chance to hone your skills while crafting heirloom-quality pieces.
4. Socks for Every Season: Malabrigo Sock
Who doesn’t love a pair of hand-knit socks? Malabrigo Sock yarn, with its soft, lightweight feel and exceptional stitch definition, is perfect for creating cozy yet breathable socks for every season. Choose from their vibrant or tonal shades to knit striped socks, lace patterns, or even textured designs.
