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.
Bold Beginner Knits is excellent for newer knitters wanting to progress but it has a range of good patterns that a more experienced knitter would enjoy. It is a favourite at The Lace Knittery where encouraging new knitters is a passion.
The Lace Knittery loves a book that gives you more and this book not only has twelve colourful accessory patterns but also recipes and a walk. The designs include mitts, socks, hats and decorations. One of the recipes is a The Lace Knittery personal favourite to make…and eat Cranachan.
I have always encouraged and found that inspiration is everywhere. This cowl pattern takes it’s inspiration from The Red Hot Chilli Peppers song ‘Can’t Stop’ and specifically the music video!
It is a cowl knitted in the round in sock weight yarn. You can knit all one colour or stripe as the example. The choice is yours. It has tubes around the right side which are not visible from the wrong/side next to your skin. It can be worn in several ways, looping twice around your neck, knotted to worn loose. It suits all…have fun.
It requires 450m of sock weight yarn. For the two coloured version 225m of each colour.
The Lace Knittery has a huge love of Shetland, Scotland and this wonderful designer. Her books are a joy to read with interesting patterns, essays about the landscape and even recipes. This book has a range of garment and accessory patterns with timeless and up to date designs.
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.
The original design book by Toft with over 40 animal designs (kits for some available from The Lace Knittery) including a lion, elephant and sheep. A classic and such addictive fun.
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.
The third collection from Marie Wallin and this time concentrating on crochet. A beautiful book full of timeless designs, makes me want to rename as The Lace Knittery Does Crochet Too!
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.
Each skein is 115g/230m
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.
A book dedicated to a favourite of The Lace Knittery, this little book not only explores five designs for Haps (shawls). It includes colour work, lace knitting (yay!) and Shetland designs along with history of a remarkable incident and woman.
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.
Here at The Lace Knittery this heritage yarn holds a special place in our hearts. It was the inspiration many years ago to learn to knit and our love for lace knitting and colour work and ultimately beginning the company.
It is 100% Shetland wool, produced by over 300 crofters on Shetland. It is also spun and dyed on Shetland. It is available in over 220 colours and natural shades of the Shetland sheep.
It is traditionally used for fair isle knitting and gets softer with use and age. It is easy to weave in the ends and block.
It is lace/fingering/4ply weight. Each ball is 25g/105m.
Gauge 30stitches x32 rows =10cm/4inch square using US3/3.25 mm needles.
