Garn Studio needs your help!

just a small selection of my Drops collection...

I am big fan of the Drops range of yarns by Norwegian company Garn Studio. They have an extensive range of gorgeous high quality yarns at prices to suit the most budget conscious crafters and are easily available via mail order (I purchase most of mine from the wonderful Wool Warehouse).

They also have a very impressive catalogue of patterns available to support their yarns. Pattern books are published several times a year and, for those of you who don't like having pattern books cluttering up your shelf, the entire back catalogue of individual patterns (nearly 92,000 of them!) is available to download from their website for free!

Garn Studio have just announced the shortlist of patterns for their Autumn/Winter 2016 collection and they want us - the people who buy and create with their yarns - to chose our favourites for publication later this year. There is an amazing array of patterns to choose from, from sweaters and jackets to ponchos, shawls and bags along with socks, slippers, hats and gloves. There are even some skirts and dresses and a selection of home accessories too! And these are not just for knitters - there are lots of crochet patterns as well.


If you fancy having a say in their Autumn Winter Collection why not nip over and check out the list here. Garn Studio are asking you to chose your 10 favourite designs (only 10! It's not easy...) with the most popular designs being included in the season pattern booklets.

I have cast my vote and already have my eye on a beautiful alpaca shawl (pattern z-752) and a loose flowing sleeveless jacket in alpaca boucle (pattern ab-068) so perfect for layering, so I really hope those two make the final selection!

What will you choose? I would love to hear your thoughts on this collection!
