A beautiful worsted weight yarn from Kate Davies Designs and dyed by Fyberspates. It is a blend of 60% Peruvian highland wool and 40% alpaca. It is a pleasure to knit and is great for accessories. The colours are a soft heathery range and reflect both the Highlands of Scotland and Peru.
A beautiful book by Marie Wallin and one that is a favourite of The Lace Knittery’s customers. It is a celebration of colour work, Fair Isle, cable and crochet.
The final collection from Marie Wallin and Rowan and it is as usual a beautiful collection of timeless colour work, Fair Isle, cable and lace designs. It uses Rowan’s Felted Tweed yarn which we are proud to stock at The Lace Knittery.
Beautiful book from Laine Publishing and Meiju K-P focusing on textured knitting. A lovely range of garments and accessories from 2xs-5xl sizing. Even less sleep as it has added to my do want to do list.
We fell in love with this book at first sight at The Lace Knittery HQ. It is a book of eight varying patterns from beanies to sweaters using Stolen Stitches Nua Sport weight yarn. It is full of colour and cable design.
Fernhill is a farm a few miles away from The Lace Knittery and it is a special place to visit. They farm holistically and organically and have transformed the soil on the farm. The sheep breeds have been selected as most suitable for the environment and they are breed for the quality of their fleece. It is a magical place.
The yarn is spun into a two ply just over the border in Wales meaning total yarn mileage to The Lace Knittery is kept to a minimum.
This yarn forms part of The Lace Knittery Natural Selection where we naturally dye in house. The dyes are either foraged locally (often from the garden or outside The Lace Knittery HQ) or ethically sourced. At the end of the dyeing process only clear water is left.
Each skein is 100g/405m lace weight. It is soft to work with and easy to use.
This DK yarn from Fyberspates is something special. It is 100% superwash merino wool from Peru (no mulesing!) and is variegated. The dyeing process is twofold making each skein unique. If you want to use more than one in a project just alternate the skeins.
One skein will easily make a scarf and the feel and drape is superb. At The Lace Knittery we have used it in a variety of projects and the colour variations does not distract from any surface design.
The newest addition the Marie Wallin books and again uses her British Breeds yarn. The colour palette is soft and there is a wide range of projects including colour work, Fair Isle, crochet, lace and surface design. A hit at The Lace Knittery HQ.
The island of Islay has inspired The Lace Knittery designs in both yarn and pattern and it continues it’s spell with Kate Davies Designs. This book is filled with a variety of designs from accessories to garments (the socks are on order from my husband to wear with his kilt!) along with essays on the Island culture and history. A beautiful book.
Collection Two by Marie Wallin for Rowan comprising designs for women and the home. It champions a cause close to The Lace Knittery’s heart…the British wool industry.
Each book contains patterns for men, women, childern and babies. The patterns contain a range of techniques including fair isle, cable, lace knitting and crochet. The books contain patterns for alafoss, lettlopi and einband yarns.
Another great book from Marie using Jamieson of Shetland Spindrift yarn (at The Lace Knittery we stock all 220+ colours) featuring colour work, lace designs, surface work and all in a beautiful to look at book.
We love a good hat pattern at The Lace Knittery and this book is full of them. From a range of designers there is something for everyone with fifteen in total using colour work and surface design. It also reminds me of trips to Loch Lomond and the stunning scenery.
In the word’s of The Lace Knittery’s youngest daughter ‘I want to knit every one’. Another great collection of eight hand knits from Marie Wallin for Rowan. It includes colour work, Fair Isle, and cable patterns.
The fourth collection by Marie Wallin for Rowan and this time exclusively for the wee ones. It is adorable with vintage inspired designs ranging from ages 2 to 10. Even though children at The Lace Knittery are now grown up young ladies it still makes me want to knit the designs.
Ahh…another great book from Kate Davies Designs full of great wearable patterns and everyone is on The Lace Knittery’s to do list. Lots of texture, colour and contemporary designs.
