Purl & Jane Lily Scarf
£4.50
Lily Scarf - Purl & Jane by Jane Ellison
This was one of the most loved patterns when I launched them at my local yarn show, Yarndale in 2019, so much so that I had sold out of them by lunchtime on Saturday! However because my printers are local and so very kind they printed some more and delivered them so I had more by the afternoon and nearly sold out of them again by the end of the weekend!
At the end of a busy day, I like to sit down and switch off for half an hour or an hour or so, which is not so easy to do with things buzzing around your head. Garter stitch is a good start to soothing those thoughts and calming the mind. I played around with many designs for the edges and they all looked good but they weren’t all fulfilling my desire for a simple pattern to switch off and relax with, a pattern that has a simple repeat but also looks classic and so I just kept making it more and more simple until Lily was the perfect pattern! I wore the Lily Scarf I had knitted over the Yarndale weekend and it’s so light you don’t notice that you have it on…until you take it off and feel the chill from the air on the back of your neck. It keeps you warm without you even knowing it!

Carol Feller Akoya
£5.00
Akoya - Carol Feller
This spring I wanted a versatile, stylish and flattering cardigan that was simple enough to be worn with just about everything. This cardigan keeps the basic styling simple, its short style is worn with negative ease, but small lace and cable details at the hem, cuff and neckline keep it interesting.
As the waist band sits just below the natural waist the wide ribbing pulls in snugly without needing to decrease the stitches. The bustline is designed to fit with a little negative ease which creates a form fitting garment without any side shaping.
Worked from the bottom up body and sleeves are joined at the yoke and worked together in one piece. There is minimal finishing when you are done, just bands and a small underarm graft.

Rowan Seasonal Palette Cotton Cashmere
£9.50
Seasonal Palette Cotton Cashmere - Dee Hardwicke
An all-seasons yarn, Cotton Cashmere is also equally suited to country and city dressing. Layering is key and designs in this collection include and elegant coat, turtle-neck sweater and wrap. The palette was inspired by Dee's love of visiting city parks and garden squares when not at home in the countryside. The colours of early autumn tend to be less muted than those found in the natural landscape and this palette reflects that, featuring more saturated colours such as Indigo, Golden Dunes and new Myrtle. The shades are completely harmonious, working wonderfully however you choose to combine them.
