Tee's and Tanks MAL

Here in Montana the birds are chirping, the sun is starting to soak us with its warm embrace, and the earth is slowing waking. My sweaters are getting worn a little less and I am ready for to plan my Spring and Summer wardrobe. Since I can't seem to finish a project these days (yes still) I figure what is more inviting than a knit with no sleeves! We hope you join us on making your summer and spring pieces!

tHE TANK'S AND TEE'S MAL DETAILS

April 6th & 20TH :: MAY 4th & 18th // 5 PM MST

Mighty Mo from left to right; Two Medicine DS, Two Medicine LS, I · Kiinuttsii, Spill’n Tea, and There’s Your Trouble.

Foxy Lady ::

Left to Right : Gary Cooper, Livvie Lu, Juniper, Eagle Eye, Teton

If you’re looking for some drape to your tank or tee, scroll no further. Foxy Lady is made with 70% Merino and 30% Silk. A single ply without the pilling, Foxy is a dream to wear and knit with. The silk helps you from overheating plus that shine! I love speckles on Foxy but the tonals are just as juicy.

Squish Fingering ::

From Left to Right :: Willow, Theresa, Dumplin, Pretty Shield, In a Jam

Squish Fingering is a 100% Merino Superwash that is soft, sleek, and uniform. Not quite as much drape as Foxy Lady, we love Squish for garments we want to wear over and over and over again. It washes up perfectly every time. My favorite thing about Squish Fingering is how it takes dye; bright, crisp, and consistent every time!

Juicy DK ::

Left to Right :: Amos Moses, Ranch Romance, Monarch, Namoo, In a Jam

Juicy DK is by far our most popular base. She is consistently good for any garment, and we have found some gorgeous designs in a DK weight. 100% Superwash Merino, this is another base you can wash again and again without loosing any luster. I love Juicy for colorwork! The ply on this yarn helps give it some drape, so we always recommend soaking and blocking your swatch OR just steam blocking your garments.

Mighty MO ::

Left to Right :: Sunday Mimosa, Porch Pumpkin, Eagle Eye, Ranch Romance, Amos Moses, York

We couldn’t leave out our favorite sheer yarn, Mighty Mo! Mighty Mo is a combo of Mohair and Silk. The effervescence of this yarn is striking! Some tee's and tanks have hints of Mohair, while a few others are made completely for Mohair. We love it's body and beautiful sheen.
