MT Studio Designers
We created MT Studio, our yarn support program, because we wanted to connect with independent knit and crochet designers from all backgrounds and motivations. We also want to share our delectable yarn with all people in the fiber community.

Spirit is a Portland, Oregon native who now lives in Scotland, in fact, she told us in her interview she can see the Edinburgh Castle from her window! Spirit has been designing for seven years. For the design she created for MT Studio, lace was the inspiration and she designed everything in this piece around it. In her words, "It's unusual and beautiful. It's thick, almost as thick as garter stitch, and it shows variegated and tonal yarn amazingly well. That is incredibly unusual in a lace. As soon as I found a way to make it a two row repeat I knew I had an easy tv knit that was going to be squishy and warm and a perfect way to use those lovely single skeins that everyone picks up and doesn't know what to do with"
Tosh Sock | Candlewick
Carson is from Washington state and has been knitting for 20 years. For her MT Studio design, lace was the driving inspo. She says, "I loved the fluidity of the lace and the interesting structure of the pattern repeat." She loves to design things for all levels of knitters and considers MadTosh yarn her 'desert island' yarn.
Tosh Merino Light | Undergrowth
Sönna hails from Fairbanks Alaska and just recently moved to Bellingham, Washington. Her design was inspired by the nostalgia of watching boats in the Bellingham and Chuckanut Bays as she knits on the beach. Sönna says, "Tiny boats ride waves along the edges of this bottom up triangle shawl as twisted stitches mimic the gentle rain we in the Pacific North West know so well. My favorite part of this shawl (other than the aFRICKINdorable sailboats)? Because it is a bottom up design, each row gets shorter and shorter so that as we near the end it goes by so fast! I know its the same number of stitches either way, but I swear its faster to knit bottom up!"
