This week we released Stone Soup Fingering to the public, our latest artisan yarn in Bare Naked Wools. It’s a unique 2-ply blend of rambouillet, columbia, lincoln, navajo-churro, alpaca, silk, bamboo, tencel, bison, and lama, exclusively spun for us by Mountain Meadow Wool.
Don’t you just love it’s subtle bumpy tweed look?
The yarn was first offered to Bare Naked Knitspot clubbies as the March club shipment. Anne designed Fringretree Shawl, an exclusive pattern included in the BNK ebook.
A delicate lace motif flutters along the border of this airy triangle shawl,
to knit from hem to neck in three sizes (petite, medium, tall). Using a luminous woolen-spun yarn, such as Stone Soup Fingering, will result in a fabric that glows from within to highlight the shawl’s beautiful linear elements.
Anne says, “the shapes in the pagoda pattern are a good likeness for the blooms on my chinese fringe tree, which shake hysterically at the slightest breeze. i’m quite smitten with the way their movement is replicated in the shawl. suble shifts of tone within the yarn accentuate the effect by laying down pale horizontal streaks across the fabric.”
The pattern will be released to the public in March 2014, or available now as part of the BNK 2013 ebook. Though the club is sold out, you can be a pattern-only member by subscribing to the ebook. You will receive an in-depth yarn chapter each month including at least one exclusive Knitspot design. And you can hang out with all the members in the swingin’ ravelry clubhouse here.
We had a small batch of extra skeins of Stone Soup Fingering that clubbies quickly gobbled up. We were ecstatic and placed a reorder quickly. The mill was able to produce TWO colorways – pumice (L) and granite (R)!
The yarn blocks out with stunningly precise stitch definition and holds its shape beautifully. It would be perfect for the following Knitspot designs…
Hazeline, Pine and Ivy, LOVe Shawlette, Gnarled Oakwoods, Squall, Twinings, Snowflakes in Cedarwoods, or Whispering Pines.
New projects are added daily on ravelry and you can check them out here. Stone Soup Fingering is available in pumice and granite here. Stone Soup DK is available in pumice and granite here. Also, as we get more samples knit up in our new yarns, you can see them in the Bare Naked Wools ravelry group here.

This pattern is fantastic, so intricate and elegant. I don’t think I could ever knit anything like it! X
I have a skein of the Stone Soup fingering in my hot little hands right this moment. I love the textures of it, thanks for showcasing some pattern ideas.
Love the size you are wearing in the photo. Which size is the one you are wearing? Thanks!
Loving the look of this yarn. I feel the need of a purchase coming upon me ;-)!
I had my new fringetree shawl in the stone soup yarn blocking on Sunday when my daughter walked past it. She did the classic double take and walked back to take another look. She loved the yarn and her second comment was wow! I really like that back panel, it makes me stop and wonder how on earth you were able to knit this pattern 🙂 Did you really knit it all in one piece??
Thought I’d share another hit!!!
Nice to see that splash of colour on the ‘Twig and Leaf’. Spring has been pretty dull around my neck of the woods.
