Deep in the heart of the maritime forest, where the salt air meets the mossy canopy... 🌲✨

Introducing The "Higbee Woods" Collection, a limited-edition sock set designed to capture the quiet, shadowed beauty of coastal woodlands. Every skein tells a story of rich forest greens, deep velvet plums, and the subtle, warm light filtering through the trees.

Hand-dyed with meticulous care in our studio, this special release is available on two distinct luxury bases:
🌿 Classic Sock — Our timeless, smooth, and durable favorite.
🧜‍♀️ Neo Mermaid Sock — A magical blend featuring vibrant neon neps and a touch of iridescent stellina sparkle.

Each limited-edition set comes beautifully paired with hand-selected coordinates, wrapped in textured velvet ribbons and a special heirloom mushroom brass charm. 🍄✨

I am currently in the middle of making a special sample using this set for the display table—fingers crossed it gets finished in time for the show! 🧶👀

🎪 Exclusive In-Person Launch:
These sets are only available at Cakepalooza on October 16. Any remaining, extra sets left after the show will be made available online.

🧜‍♀️ NEW DESIGN DROP THIS WEEK! 🧜‍♀️✨

I am completely over the moon to give you a close-up look at my brand-new sweater (called Nor'easter) releasing in just a few days! If you’ve been dreaming of the ultimate, cozy autumn layer that fits like an absolute dream, this is the one.

Every single detail of this design was meticulously thought out for the perfect sweater experience:
✨ A chic split hem with structural ribbed side "seams"
🔮 An extra twisty, dramatic focal cable that is beautifully mimicked right in the raglan decrease lines
🧶 Flawless short row shaping for a comfortable, tailored neckline

Let’s talk about this magical fiber blend! I knit this sample holding two different strands and two different colorways together throughout the entire project: "Salt Water Taffy" and "Speckled Trout." 🎣🍬

By combining our ultra-plush Merino Cashmere Nylon (MCN) Sock base for structural luxury with our signature Mermaid Fluff (Baby Suri Alpaca & Silk), you get a cloud-like fabric with a subtle, moonlit iridescent sparkle.

🌟 PRO-TIP FOR BRUSHED FLUFF USERS: One of my favorite secrets about holding a fluffy, brushed yarn together with a smooth sock yarn is that it virtually eliminates pilling! You get all the dramatic, fuzzy halo look without any of the high-maintenance wear.

Keep your eyes wide open for the official pattern drop announcement later this week! Which two colorways are you dreaming of marling together for yours? 👇🎨

The Nor’easter features a classic relaxed raglan body paired with these absolutely stunning, chunky cable details running all the way down the sleeves. I knit this sample holding two strands of my hand-dyed yarn together to create the ultimate squishy, multi-dimensional autumn fabric.

And YES, I will absolutely be wearing this cozy knit to Cakepalooza! 🎂✨ My furry assistant here might not accompany me, but I can’t wait to see so many of you there and squish all the yarn together.

🍁 CRUNCHY LEAVES & COZY VIBES: HIGBEE WOODS 🍁🍂

Meet the ultimate autumn mood in a skein. This is Higbee Woods—a colorway deeply inspired by the crisp, enchanting shadows of local fall foliage and forest paths. It is packed with rich, earthy undertones and stunning seasonal speckles that mimic the magic of changing leaves.

🌾 NEEDLE IN THE HAYSTACK 🌾✨

I am completely in love with how this sample turned out! This is our signature DK Merino base custom-dyed in “Needle in the Haystack”—a gorgeous, golden fall colorway rich with shifting silvery undertones and soft, warm peachy oranges. The depth in these skeins is absolute magic!

Best of all? This cozy watchcap used just one single skein! 🧶

The sample is knit up using my newly published pattern, the Basic Ribbed Hat for the Family. It features a squishy, classic rib texture and a deep folded brim for maximum autumn coziness. The pattern is officially out now and written for 6 distinct sizes ranging all the way from newborn up to adult large, making it the ultimate holiday gift-knit layout!

🚢 GHOST SHIP GIVEAWAY & CAKEPALOOZA EXCLUSIVES! 🧁🎪

We are officially 10 days away from Cakepalooza on Friday, October 16th, and I am so excited to share what we are bringing for our door prize giveaway! 👻✨

For our special festival door prize, I have dyed up a luxurious set of 20 mini skeins in our incredibly soft Yak Blend Fi*****ng Weight base! The colorway is Ghost Ship—a beautifully moody, dark charcoal grey with shifting undertones of wooden plank brown, deep sea ocean blues, and mysterious stormy purples.

To make this giveaway even more special, Mr. Cape May Fiber himself (my husband, Tim!) hand-crafted a set of beautifully paired, custom shell-shaped progress keepers to go with every single one of the 20 mini skeins! They look absolutely stunning clipped onto this palette. 🐚⚓

Speaking of beautiful artistry, I want to give a massive shoutout to my incredibly talented friend Kelsey. She created a small batch of her gorgeous, bespoke ceramic bunny dishes specifically designed to coordinate with our Bunnies, Birds, and Blooms Collection from earlier this year. Her pottery work is absolutely breathtaking, so go give her a follow! Kelsey 🌸🐰

Mark your calendars for October 16th—come say hi, check out the new Whimsigoth bases!🔮🎪

🌊 CATCH THE BREEZE: THE STORY OF THE ZEPHYR BEANIE 🌬️✨

Feast your eyes on this cozy beauty! This classic ribbed watchcap was hand-knit using just one single skein of our DK Merino base in the colorway Zephyr—a stunning, moody mix of deep ocean blues, soft seafoam, and crisp autumnal orange speckles.

Did you know that winter hats like this have a fascinating history? Long before pom-poms became a fun cold-weather fashion statement, they served a highly functional purpose! They were originally worn by sailors and fishermen out at sea. When waves would crash and toss the boats around, the sturdy woolen pom-poms on top of their watchcaps acted as protective bumpers, cushioning their heads from violently banging against low ship ceilings and beams!

While this sample is sporting a sleek, classic crown, it’s got all that rich, nautical history knit right into the fabric.

If you want to squish Zephyr in person, it will be making its big debut alongside 8 other magical colorways in our highly anticipated Whimsigoth Collection at Cakepalooza on Friday, October 16th! 🧁🎪

We are packing up our bins right now with this entire moody palette across your favorite bases:
• Merino Cashmere Nylon Sock
• DK Merino (like the sample!)
• Super Bulky Sparkle 🌟
• And a very special treat... Sparkly Merino Fiber for our spinning community! 🔮

Mark your calendars for October 16th—we can’t wait to see you there!

✨ NEW SAMPLE ALERT! 🧶✨

I am completely in love with this gorgeous new addition to our display table! This is The Amanda Beanie by Mrs B's Custom Crochet, and it is an absolute dream of a texture. 😍

It is crocheted in adult medium size using my very own Non-Superwash (NSW) Organic Merino. It is beautifully plush, warm, and holds those textured stitches perfectly!

The best part? You only need ONE skein of our NSW Organic Merino to make this hat for all sizes—from newborn all the way up to adult! I currently have 19 gorgeous colorways in stock on this base, so you can pick your perfect shade.

You can find the pattern directly on Ravelry, and you can come touch and see this sample in person at Cakepalooza CAKEpalooza on Friday, October 16th! 🧁🎪
