Our First Kora Club of the Year is about Balance
Balance is a rare and precious quality, one that must be cultivated with care. In a world dominated by extremes, cultivating a mindset of equilibrium is both challenging and essential—for our well-being and for those around us.
But for us, balance does not mean standing still or avoiding tough choices. Quite the opposite—balance is about having the strength to make bold decisions and take courageous steps, all while staying grounded and stable .

Our Kora Club is more than a yarn club
It’s a way for us to give you a taste of our love for Tibetan Culture and its people, a way for you to join our path, walk together, and help in our effort to support Tibetan communities. But we are also an Italian brand so we had to bring something Italian into the Club, a special surprise for each club crafted with love in our home country.
What does the club include and how does it work?
Every other month, we will introduce a limited edition colorway of our Baby Yak Medium based on the mood we have created for that month. The mood is inspired by the colors of Tibet, its culture, and its landscape. There is no automatic renewal, so you are not bound to get the bi-monthly club if you don’t like what you see.
Registration is now open for two weeks, or earlier if we sell out. Your club will ship in two weeks.The guest designer for this Kora is Julie Hoover. Julie created the Sterling Neckwarmer in the exclusive new color Silver Grey (see below for more information)
Each club includes:
- Limited colorway skeins: you can choose the club with the number of skeins you want (3 to 10).
- The pattern through a download code you will find in the box.
- A card with the monthly mood.
- In addition, you can select the following add-on: “From Italy with love” (click the link to read more).
This add-on changes for every club and is something special made in Italy. It could be something handmade, special delicacies, good for your body and soul, or something you could use for your creativity.
Note: The skeins of the Kora club cannot be substituted for other colors and are non-refundable.
To knit the Sterling Neckwarmer, you’ll need 4 skeins.

Designer Profile: Julie Hoover
Over the years, in my roles as a visual merchandiser, art director, freelance designer, and since 2012 solely designing knitwear, I’ve had a hand in creating many things that I’m proud to call my work. I downright love what I do.
My background (and degree) is in clothing & textiles. And that, for as long as I can remember, has always been my constant romance. It’s true. Open my handbag. You won’t find lipstick, you’ll find yarn and fabric swatches. To me, hand knitting reflects a beautiful way of creating fashion. The kind of fashion I will always love. No fashion shows. No fussing or forcing anything, simply making things you will keep for years, and everything is engaged in quality and creativity.
I learn something new every day, and every day I make intentional choices and carefully consider what impact those choices will have. I try to set the bar high. Not only do I care deeply about our planet, I care very much about the people who are connected to me and my work. From the subcontractors I work with, to the least frequent follower/customer, I strive to create, associate, and communicate in a way that will allow everyone to feel welcomed, respected, and valued.
Currently based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I’m designing knitwear and making yarn for my own personal label and sometimes for other brands as well. It is really important to me to create designs that are not just the latest trend but timeless investments meant to elevate your most favorite pieces. If I can support the evolution of your personal style in that way, I’m so happy.
