  • The Lace Knittery Frosted Leaf Shawl PDF Knitting Pattern

    The wrap is rectangular and is an allover lace pattern. It requires 800m of lace weight yarn. Sample photo is a kid mohair and silk hand painted yarn by The Lace Knittery.

  • The Lace Knittery Hand Painted Lace Weight Baby Alpaca Yarn

    £22.00

    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)

    70% baby alpaca, 20% silk 10% cashmere.

  • The Lace Knittery Lavender Fields Wrap PDF Knitting Pattern

    £4.20

    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.

    £4.20
    peacock wrap

    One of the first patterns I designed and still one of my favourites.

We eventually found three…my daughters have left home but I still have the feathers in my studio.

    The wrap is rectangular and has a border pattern with the main body in a peacock feather motif. It is knitted in lace weight yarn and requires 800m.

    The pattern has both written and charted instructions. You can use either.

    At The Lace Knittery we love wraps, they are versatile, light, portable and useful. Knitting them is fun as there is no gauge and as with all The Lace Knittery wrap and scarf patterns we design them to be interchangeable on yarns used.

    It requires 800m of lace weight yarn and 4mm needles. It can be knitted in different weight yarns and up to DK weight use the same size needles.
