I have lost count of the number of these mitts I have made. The Lace Knittery Embellished Mitts are just fun to make and wear (and give away!). They are knitted in the round and then let your imagination go wild. I have beaded, embroidered, appliqued, all three or just left plain. Go wild.
They can be knitted in lace weight to DK weight yarn and take 20-25g.
At The Lace Knittery I like to think outside the boundaries…why should we knit lace with lace weight yarn. The Lace Knittery Exmoor Snuggle Aran Scarf is one of my Big Lace designs, inspired by Simonsbath in the heart of Exmoor and not far from The Lace Knittery HQ. It is a triangular wrap knitted in aran weight yarn. You can leave at scarf size or carry on to a wrap size. It has a bobble edging that is knitted as you go along. Wear front or back it suits everybody and is a nice easy knit.

At The Lace Knittery we hand paint and naturally dye our own range of yarns and fibre. All are natural fibres and traceable to source, ethically produced and in our dyeing processes do not use harsh chemicals.
The hand painted range is dyed by me at The Lace Knittery HQ in Somerset. Each skein has the colour applied by hand and pushed in inch by inch. This means an even colour, no gaps and a soft drift of colours across the skein.
They are washed several times to remove any excess dye.
They are all inspired by the world around me and the myth, magic and beauty of these British Isles.
Each skein is 100g 800m (enough to knit an entire wrap)

I love this yarn it is one of my favourites to both dye and use. It is lace weight and is a mix of a British wool breed and silk. It has incredible lustre and drape.

Each skein is 100g/800m. 55% blue faced Leicester wool, 45% silk. Lace weight.
I find inspiration everywhere and The Lace Knittery Lavender Fields Wrap was inspired by a holiday to the south of France. We had two small children in the back of the car and pulled off the autoroute and then stopped dead for two hours in a traffic jam. Within ten minutes we had exhausted I spy, and had been asked ‘are we there yet’ along with ‘I need a wee’, ‘she hit me’, ‘no she hit me’, ‘I’m hungry” and ‘are we there yet’…they only survived because I was looking over long lines of purple lavender with mountains beyond!
It is a lovely pattern that is eight rows. It has been worked in any weight yarn from lace to aran. The pattern is written for lace weight and if using up to DK weight yarn follow exactly. Above this weight just go up on the needle size. It requires 800m of yarn.
At The Lace Knittery we have been naturally dyeing yarn and fibre for over fifteen years. We use materials from the garden, kitchen, foraged from the countryside around us and from sustainable sources. The process leaves nothing but clear water at the end and produces a range of colours. Custom dye works are available. Please contact us for details.

The Lace Knittery Scrumper Scarf is inspired by my favourite blackberrying spot. This little scarf is triangular in shape and is perfect for keeping you warm when rambling.
