Preorder Moon & Turtle for 16th August 2021
Meet your new go-to designers for elevated basics. Twin sisters Kiyomi and Sachiko are masters of wearable designs for city life that revel in glorious, understated wooliness. Moon and Turtle features a collection of garments and accessories which are an astute nod towards the shared similarities and differences between twins.
Kiyomi and Sachiko’s talent to infuse unique and contemporary design details with classic knitwear styles, and I'm honoured to bring you the twins’ first collaborative collection. Moon and Turtle contains nine knit designs (4 garments, 5 accessories) which showcase an edgy urban aesthetic, reflecting the twins’ life in Toronto / Tkaronto, Canada.
Much like Kiyomi and Sachiko themselves, Moon and Turtle is truly synergic. The duality associated with identical twins is thoughtfully and intelligently embedded into every aspect of the book. From the designs, to the authors’ musings, to the title of the book itself, there’s a quiet harmony in the idea that two things or people can be visually similar but also appreciably distinct.
The patterns are gender-neutral, graded up to a 62” chest, and contain body and sleeve length adjustments in the hope that this book can be enjoyed by many knitters for years to come. Playful colourwork, paired with simply constructed garments,
Kiyomi and Sachiko’s sisterly affection for one another is clear and shines through their words and designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
Why do you use British wool instead of stocking merino?
At Woollen Wytch, we’re proud to support British farmers by using 100% British-grown wool.
This not only reduces the carbon footprint of our yarn but also celebrates the incredible variety and quality of wool produced right here in the UK.
While merino is popular, it’s often sourced from South America or Australia, which comes with significant environmental costs.
By choosing British wool, we’re championing sustainability, local agriculture, and heritage breeds. 🌍🐑
How is hand-dyed yarn packaged for shipping?
At Woollen Wytch, we prioritize sustainability in our packaging.
Your hand-dyed yarn is carefully wrapped to protect it during transit, using eco-friendly materials like recyclable paper and compostable mailers.
We avoid using plastic whenever possible, so your yarn arrives beautifully presented and planet-friendly! 🌍✨
Why does my skein of hand-dyed yarn look different from the photos online?
Each skein of hand-dyed yarn is a unique work of art, dyed in small batches that can result in slight variations.
Lighting and screen settings may also affect how colours appear.
These subtle differences are part of the charm and individuality of hand dyed yarns.
Will the colours in hand-dyed yarn bleed or fade?
Hand-dyed yarns are carefully dyed using professional-grade acid dyes and set with citric acid to lock in the colours.
While minimal bleeding can sometimes occur during the first wash, proper care—such as washing in cool water with a gentle detergent—will keep your yarn vibrant for years to come.
