Kindred Knits by Aleks Byrd – Patterns from My Estonian Family Archives
Kindred Knits is a heartfelt collection of 15 knitwear designs by Aleks Byrd, inspired by the sketchbooks of her Estonian grandmother, Hilja, and her family’s heirloom crafts. This book celebrates the way knitting weaves together generations — blending memory, tradition, and creativity into pieces meant to be worn and treasured.
The patterns include sweaters, cardigans, socks, hats, mitts, slippers, and a shawl, worked in a variety of techniques such as lace, cables, colourwork, and Roosimine — the traditional Estonian inlay method. Each design feels fresh and modern while carrying the quiet strength of heritage and craft.
Aleks Byrd, with Estonian, Canadian, and American roots, is well known for reintroducing traditional Estonian techniques like Roosimine and Vikkel to a global audience. Following her acclaimed debut Traditions Revisited (Laine, 2022), Kindred Knits is her second book — and an intimate homage to family, tradition, and the enduring art of knitting.

from 122 reviewsI absolutely love the tool. It's gorgeous looking and very helpful. The tape is wider than usual ones. Doesn't get tangled

Decided to check out the store while on vacation in Singapore and it did not disappoint. It was well stocked with beautiful displays and showed the diversity of quality yarns. As I’m new to crocheting, Cecilia spent over a hour patiently explaining things to me and helping me select some beautiful skeins and shawl pins. Overall, a lovely store with excellent customer service. Highly recommend and will return anytime I’m in Singapore.

Nice colour, soft, easy to knit

Honestly, it was a great experience. I would love to go again during the next holidays, so I will start saving up ;)

Such a lovely yarn to work with, and the sheen!

I am always extremely pleased using Furls Odyssey Crochet hooks as they are faultless! This one wasn’t the first purchased and I am sure it will not be the last. My parcel was delivered very fast, coming from the other half of the world ! Thank you Yarning Hearts! Good job, good job!

These organic yarn comes in pretty pastel and bright colours with a light sheen. The cottony soft and smooth texture feels comfortable against the skin. We are very happy with the buy!

Great value for the sturdy material and quantity. Comes in lovely colors too!

Furls Odyssey hooks are terrific.
The hook I purchased from Yarning Hearts is beautiful and I was pleasantly surprised at the swiftness of its arrival.

Very soft and squishy, can imagine would be very cozy to wear next to skin. And it feels good on the hands to knit with too.

Great quality yarn, fast delivery. Perfect for my baby blanket project

Really nice colours with soft texture. Love this yarn

Handy, good design and well crafted leather. Good value for money!!
