Summer Updates at Knit Picks

New yarn development, the summer games, and a scavenger hunt.

Team USA’s Wool Paris Olympic Blazers

The Paris Olympic Games have begun, and you may have seen the blue wool blazers worn by Team USA athletes. Designed by Ralph Lauren, we think they’re quite striking. Of course, you may be wondering why this week’s edition of our Knit Peeks newsletter is talking about something that doesn’t seem to have any connection to Knit Picks or even knitting. Well, you guessed it! There is a connection, and it’s one we’re pretty proud of.

Our much-beloved, 100% American-made (and soon to be RWS certified) High Desert wool yarn is sourced from the same Oregon wool company that Ralph Lauren used for the Team USA blazers. Our partnership with Shaniko Wool Company is one we cherish and share with pride. While we may never get our hands on one of those stunning blazers, we’re pretty sure we know just how soft and high-quality the wool is.
