An elegant, classic V-neck cardigan with a flattering A-line silhouette, featuring intriguing cables which move from one pattern to another to form an eye-catching yoke - a cable knitter’s dream to make and wear.
Cable patterning is offered both charted and line-by-line instructions.Fiona used a fingering weight yarn for the cardigan. It would look amazing in Biches & Buches Le Petit Lambswool.
85% is recycled rayon-linen fibre, sorted from selected wastage and regenerated using the eco-friendly hydrolysis method. Blended with 15% premium natural linen, these fibres are twisted and dyed by a specialist Italian spinner in Biella to produce a unique yarn with a dry hand feel and subtle sheen.Studio Linen and Churchmouse's Sleeveless Slipover make a great combination.
This style is so versatile, we all wanted different lengths. So here you have it—cropped, hip, tunic, and dress lengths. Or any length you’d like! It’s quite simple to customize your Slipover—for your personal style or body type, as a long layer with side vents, or as a short topper over a tee, to be dressed up or down.
We designed eight different sizes and four different lengths in a variety of summery fibers. There are so many beautiful textures and fabrics and colors to play with. You might want to knit a few and mix it up!
The catalyst for creating my own yarn collection was to support the British heritage of textile mills and to promote native sheep breeds.
From fleece to finished yarn in less than 50 miles, Wool Local is both authentically British and environmentally sustainable. Starting at the British wool auction in Bradford, the wool is scoured, combed, spun, dyed, steamed and hanked in the county of Yorkshire.
An intimate blend of luxurious Bluefaced Leicester and hardwearing Masham, in a fine 4ply weight, this is a truly local wool, with its roots in the heartland of British textile manufacturing.See Wool Local patterns on Ravelry.
Home grown luxury.
Supremely soft, subtly sheeny and deliciously sumptuous; the wool of the Bluefaced Leicester is Britain’s most luxurious fibre.
With its fine, dense yet lightweight fleece, due to the nature of its tightly purled wool, the noble Bluefaced Leicester produces some of the finest commercial demi-lustre wool in the world. Often considered the “cashmere of British wools”, it it naturally my fibre of choice for creating the best of British wool yarns.
Wool is naturally soft, comfortable and sustainable, making it the ultimate fibre for the hand knitter.See British Blue patterns on Ravelry.
I wanted the bottom of the arm to look more puffed when it was hanging so I ended up using a regular 1x1 rib with 6mm needless and decreased an extra 2 stitches. This way the rib is more snug on my wrist which forces the fabric to hang.
Only a skein and a half. 8 mm needless. The medium size.What a great looking sweater!
The Modern Wrapper is a loose-fitting, easy-to-wear piece that is an eternal staple of our winter wardrobe. Whether you leave it as an open cardigan or seam the front, tunic-style, its relaxed, boxy shape makes it endlessly versatile and so, so comfortable!The Modern Wrapper is a pattern from Churchmouse Yarns. You can purchase the pattern in the store or on Ravelry.
We often love to wear the Modern Wrapper as a casual layer—a sort of 'round-the-house coat over a t-shirt and leggings or jeans. And if you must leave the house, it dresses up well. Just throw it on over a button-up blouse and add a stylish scarf.
These versions of our Modern Wrapper—one open, the other seamed at the front—were both knit in Rowan Kid Classic—a worsted-weight yarn with great drape and warmth. Perfect to wrap up in!Churchmouse's email came this morning and it was perfect timing. Ms. UPS brought in a box from Rowan this morning with two colours of Kid Classic.
