Teas I’m Enjoying While Knitting

Harney & Sons has been part of my knitting routine for years. In the quiet, everyday rhythm that happens when you sit down with a project and take a breath before the next row.
There’s a moment in the day when everything starts to feel rushed. Messages, errands, decisions, work. It’s easy to move from one thing to the next without ever really pausing.
For me, that pause usually looks like this:
A cup of tea.
A few rows of knitting.
& Nothing complicated.
Just something warm in my hands while the needles move.
Why Tea and Knitting Work So Well Together
Knitting is built on repetition — the same small movement again and again. That repetition has a way of slowing the mind down and helping your attention settle.
Tea does something similar in its own quiet way. The act of steeping, waiting, and taking that first sip creates a small moment of transition.
When the two come together, it becomes a simple ritual:
steep the tea
pick up the project
knit a few rows
let the day soften a little
It doesn’t have to take an hour. Even ten or fifteen minutes can change the tone of an afternoon.
The Teas I’m Currently Enjoying
For this little knitting reset lately, I’ve been reaching for two teas from Harney & Sons that feel especially nice for spring.
🌸 Cherry Blossom Tea
Light and floral with a gentle sweetness, this one feels like the kind of tea you’d want during a quiet afternoon knit. It’s delicate without being overly perfumed.
🍓 Strawberry Vanilla Black Tea
This one is a little warmer and richer. The strawberry brings a soft brightness while the vanilla rounds everything out. It’s been especially nice while working on longer knitting sessions.

My Current Knitting Project
While enjoying these teas, I’ve been working on the Nordic Bloom Cardigan by Caitlyn Hunter, which has been a really enjoyable knit so far. I’m using Beatrice Bayliss Chunky Wool. Projects like this are perfect for pairing with a good cup of tea — something engaging but relaxing enough to settle into.
That combination of warm tea and steady stitches is one of the reasons I love knitting so much. It turns ordinary moments into something slower and more intentional.
Creating Your Own Knitting Ritual
If you knit — or even if you’re just starting — I highly recommend creating a small ritual around it.
It doesn’t need to be complicated.
Just something simple like:
making a cup of tea
sitting down with your yarn
knitting a few rows without rushing
Those small pauses add up.
And sometimes the best part of the day is simply a warm drink and a quiet row of stitches.
