I stopped at the Lantern Moon office yesterday to pick up a needle (16 inch ebony circular, size 3, if you must know) for a design project. The office was a quietly humming beehive of TNNA prep. Adding Fyberspates Scrumptious to our product line means adding more fun!
Steve showed me the Scrumptious knit samples that they are taking to the show. These are from the upcoming book, Scrumptious Knits by Carol Feller. It’s due out any minute…
I didn’t have a camera with me, so I’m borrowing pictures from Carol herself. Pictures are copyright Joseph Feller. Thank you!
I love the shaping on Ignus; it was really apparent when I held up the garment. This sample is knit in Scrumptious Aran in Teal. The cable down the side is exquisite.
The beads on Flama were a surprise! They’re across the bottom of the lacy portion, and they add just the right amount of sparkle and weight. This sits very comfortably on the shoulders. Flama is knit in Scrumptious Lace.
This Bakersville cardi is lightweight and comfortable. It’s knit with Scrumptious 4-ply/sport in Slate. It would be perfect for spring.
But my favorite item? Taupo. It’s knit with Scrumptious Chunky in Cherry, a single, and the construction is very clever. The Trinity stitch edging continues around to go up the front edges, and the sweater closes with one button at the neck. The color is so rich, and it looks smashing on me. (I love samples; when they make me look good, they make me want to knit!) I don’t have a picture of the front, but you can see it on the Fyberspates page for this book.
Lantern Moon is the exclusive USA distributor for Fyberspates Scrumptious yarn, and we distribute the Fyberspates Scrumptious books, too. Stop by the booth (#938) at TNNA and see the scrumptious yarn and more samples!
What do *you* want to knit with Scrumptious?
I love the looks of Carol’s Scrumptious Knits patterns. Wonder what size range is included – can us plus-sized gals wear these sweaters?
Taupo is sized to fit 31 to 56 inch bust; Bakersville is sized for 32 to 52 inch bust, so there is a wide range of sizes there. Happy knitting!

Can’t wait to see if my LYS will get this in. I sure hope so. What a wonderful book!

I love the Teal colorway and the vest.
