I’m often asked what tools, yarns, and resources I use in my projects so I put everything I truly love in one place. These are the brands and products I reach for most when designing patterns, swatching new ideas, or curling up with a WIP.
Some of these links are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you make a purchase — at no extra cost to you. Every click helps support my work at NorthKnits and allows me to keep creating cozy, thoughtful patterns for you.
