Earlier this year, I was fortunate to test knit two designs from gudrunjohnston newest book Shetland Shades: Stories in Wool. Her designs are fantastic and I loved knitting both of these. They are both knit in yarn from our mill. We spin a woollen-spun non-superwash yarn and the fabric it creates is lofty, light and warm.
First up is the Vaddel Neckerchief in the colourways from our Earth Collection. This project is the perfect size to keep the chill off without the bulk of a large shall.
Second is the Skelf vest. I used this a fun stash buster and a great way to play with colour. Knitting with 3 strands of fi*****ng weight 4ply yarn held together, this vest knits up quickly!
There are so many other great patterns in this book! I can’t wait to knit more of them. And they will all look great in our yarn. The book will be available later this month!
