With spring finally here and two willing and able models, we unveil a child’s vest. Easy to knit and customize, it is an elegant and casual option for the cool spring and summer evenings. I knitted these (for a 2 and a 4 year old) with a lace alpaca yarn along a DK cotton thread.
We are full believers that the appreciation of fine things must be learned from an early age. Every newborn should be welcomed into the world in something fine, hand-crafted, and unique.
Earlier this fall Faberie undertook a sizable commission for a stroller blanket for a little girl. The patron did not want to adhere to the typical gender-specific standards requesting an ocean-blue color. Instead, we chose to highlight the gender with the pattern choosing a flowing leaf motif.
Completing the creative process was the selection of yarn. We sourced a cotton yarn spun with a silver thread from a small-batch yarn maker in Turkey. The yarn was a pleasure to work with and the blanket turned out sturdy yet soft.
We are working on new patterns and exciting new knits including this beautiful strangling vine lace pattern that I am knitting into a gorgeous scarf for myself.
The details: yarn in Pennyroyal
Trendy they may be, cowls have been around for centuries. This one here, is a beautiful rendition of the recently super-popular Sassenach cowl made every-so-popular by Outlander. The saturated blues and greens flow together creating a knit that reminds us of sea waves. This bold cowl is also versatile and can be worn as a cowl or a drape across the shoulders. Knitted from 100% merino wool.
We’ve designed a brand new lace pattern here at Faberie and knitted a beautiful scarf to showcase it. The gentle wave of the lace highlights the colors and accentuates the texture of the yarn giving the peace a unique, custom feel. And while the yarn is a wool, silk and cotton blend, the scarf is light and airy. It is a perfect piece to wear not just for warmth but as an accessory. It is available for purchase here.
Spring has sprung, everything is in bloom and we are commemorating this glorious season with a beautiful, one-of-a-kind blue and pink shawl. Made of luxurious cotton yarn and knitted in intricate floral lace pattern, this shawl is a beautiful accessory on a cool spring day.
… and now for a close-up of the pattern.
Another weekend, another knitting project. First, an adorable pom-pom beanie not unlike our other offering from this year’s Bebe collection. This beaning is a little more structured and has beautiful texture.
And what better to compliment a hat than a scarflet. A scarflet is a little scarf for little necks designed to provide maximum coverage without weighing down the wee wearer. Accented with fun tassels, the scarflet doesn’t come apart and is perfect for those breezy evenings or active hours on the playground. Each can be knitted in a lazy evening and both are made of 100% Italian merino wool.

e’d like to explain how the name Faberie & our logo came about while we take a few to thaw our fingers from the great, frosty winter of 2015. The word faber means artisan, smith in Latin. Since knitting and crocheting produces artisanal and unique products, Faberie seemed like an appropriate name to call our brand. The logo design was inspired by our reading about lace patterns from the 19th century.
