has teamed up with Eden Cottage Yarns to
develop a collection of shawls and wraps.
The four projects were inspired by famous
poems that celebrates the seasons.
Capturing the joy of spring is ‘Echoing
Green’, a half-circle shawl knitted in two
shades of Eden Cottage’s Oakworth 4ply.
Along with a deep lace border, it is decorated
with little tassels. ‘Sun and Shower’ is a
circular shawl, knitted from the centre out
in a laceweight yarn, and which features
the most exquisite lace motifs.
‘Ode to Autumn’ is a rectangular wrap
combining a mohair laceweight with a 4ply
wool, and featuring delicate stripes and lace
panels. Finally, ‘Snowy Evening’ has a cosy
fabric thanks to the use of the aran-weight
Pendle yarn; it is knitted on the bias using
cable patterns and an asymmetric shape.
Designs are available as individual printed
pattern leaflets or as a bundle of four
patterns, or as complete kits which include
the pattern, yarns, a printed ECY project bag,
and a Soak wool wash sachet.
