New Pattern Release

We're excited to introduce the newest addition to our Yoke Mediation Series - the third variation. Just like its predecessors, this enchanting design is all about the yoke. It's the perfect way to escape into the mesmerizing world of stranded colourwork and fully immerse yourself.

The exquisite motifs featured in the yoke are inspired by the ancient art of Buddhist mandalas. And we hope this design can help you step into a realm of tranquillity and harmony and find your inner peace.

It's essential now as the holiday season can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed with our busy lives and high expectations. That's why it's crucial to find ways to slow down and recenter. One great way to do this is by indulging in creating a gorgeous yoke stitch, stitch by stitch. And to make it even more captivating, you can use a colour-changing yarn as the contrast colour.

Make sure to check out our in-depth YouTube video on this pattern! It covers everything from inspiration, gauge, yarn and needles to sizing, construction, techniques, and even possible modifications. It's filled with valuable information to help you decide how to create your own and immerse yourself in the meditative process of making a beautiful yoke.

You can get a 20% discount until November 19th, 23:59 GMT, on the pattern download from Ravelry, Etsy, or www.zaneteknits.com. Just enter the code YMS03 at checkout. We really hope you'll enjoy meditating over this yoke. Feel free to share your thoughts and feedback with us, as we're always excited to hear what you say!

New Test Call

We've got a pretty unique challenge in the test knitting department this time - it's an oversized all-over cabled drop-shoulder sweater with a super cool collar and neckline detail. The best part? It features a slightly asymmetrical cable and a fun twist on the classical honeycomb cable stitch. The Texo sweater is a worsted weight project, and, as usual, it's constructed from the top down. It's primarily seamless, with just a tiny exception. We've kept the shaping to a minimum so you can easily groove into it. If you want to know more about the design and how to sign up for the test, visit our blog post. And if you need help with what to expect when test knitting for Zanete Knits, we've got a helpful breakdown for you. Can't wait to have you on board!

In other news...

We have two more exciting newsletters coming up this month! The next will be a short announcement where we'll be delighted to introduce you to our awesome BFCM deals and offers. And the one after that will feature our usual format. Here's a sneak peek of what you can expect then.

Vaidava Memories Socks

We will be introducing the 6th addition to the lineup, and you won't believe this - it's the first-ever cuff-down design! Inspired by a tranquil knitting retreat with close friends in a cosy Latvian town, these socks will transport you to a serene world. A delicate yet captivating twisted stitch cable panel adorns the leg. Plus, we've added a reinforced Dutch heel and a sole gusset for that extra touch of comfort. If you're a cable-loving sock knitter, this is something you don't want to miss. Keep your eyes wide open - we'll unveil it soon!

Yoke Meditation Series 4 Test

After completing three sport-weight round yoke sweaters, it's time to shake things up and introduce something more unique to the Yoke Meditation Series. Design No. 4 in this collection is a fabulous worsted-weight project with raglan construction. We're working on it, and it will be ready for testing soon. We absolutely love using colour-changing or hand-spun yarn for this one. If you're on board with this idea and need something like that in your life, make sure to stay tuned for the test announcement!
