Do you follow these 9 inspiring Instagram accounts?

There are few things more inspiring than seeing what other people are knitting.

And what better place to do that than Instagram?

We’re still working on our social media strategy at The Yarnist, but we will start posting ourselves soon.

In the meantime here are nine accounts we think are worth a follow.

Birch Grove

Kristina runs a lovely little hand dyed yarn company out of Ontario, Canada.

Not only is her feed filled with yarn p🧶rn, but her bags and branding are absolutely gorgeous.

Knit Collage

I’ve known Amy since her very first TNNA tradeshow over 10 years ago.

She’s grown her funky little yarn company into something truly unique in the industry.

Not only does it have a great story, but their bold, chunky designs are a pleasure to find in your feed.

Knit.Love.Wool.

If beautiful stranded colorwork sweaters are your jam then you need to check out designer Jenn Steingass.

Her yoke patterns are unlike anything I’ve seen, with designs and colors palettes so good you might break a needle out of jealousy.

Fifty Four Ten Studio

Mary Lee has done with classic stitch patterns what I should have done a long time ago; turn them into cozy blanket patterns.

Seriously, looking at her feed makes me feel like an idiot. 🤦🏽‍♂️

I might need to go to look through our Knits & Purls stitchionary and cast on something…

Amirisu Knit Magazine

I’ve had a fondness for Japanese culture ever since I was a kid. My family would host Japanese exchange students every summer.

I have yet to visit Japan, but this magazine does a great job of embodying the Japanese design philosophy.

With innovative geometric patterns and beautiful subtle color palettes, there’s a lot to fall in love with here.

Purl Soho

What once was a little shop in Manhattan has become a powerhouse in the crafting world.

That growth is mostly due to their simple, elegant free patterns and lovely art direction.

If you’re in need of some knitspiration, you’ll definitely want to give them a follow.

Ely Tejidos

While researching this article I stumbled upon this account with some of the craziest sweater designs I’ve ever seen.

I’m not even sure you can buy the patterns from this Chilean designer, but just looking at her creations makes me want to go bolder with my own work!

Heidi Frøshaug

If Scandinavian style mittens are more your speed then you’ll want to check out this designer from Norway.

She pairs traditional nordic motifs with modern color palettes to create amazing mitten and sock patterns.

Now all I need is a fire and a hot cup of Gløgg.

Kroopa Knits

Karolina is a knitwear designer out of Warsaw, Poland. What I love about her feed is she does a great job of documenting the process of knitting.

Her pictures are absolutely perfect. Even if she’s in the middle of designing a sock you never feel like you’re looking at something unfinished.

Brioche & Stitch

These adorable little dogs are owned by Stephen West.

I’m not an animal lover but even I follow these cute pups and their fantastic sweaters.

So there you have it! Our picks for some cool people to follow.
