We’ve been having a lot of fun in the studio this week, creating new variegated colourways and experimenting with our companion mohair shades.

There’s something magical about holding a strand of mohair alongside your yarn when knitting, colours shift, blend and pop in completely different ways. Some pairings are subtle and tonal while others are wonderfully vibrant and unexpected.

We’re dreaming up some gorgeous combinations for Landmark beanie pattern in bright mint Wold Chunky and special edition variegated green Mist and also Garnett sweater in Verdigris Fenella and a contrasting pink mohair Mist. Which one catches your eye?
