Patterns & Kits!

Scarlet Fleece patterns are an exercise in color-play. The objective is to design patterns to highlight and celebrate hand painted yarn. There are many techniques featured such as slip stitching, Fair Isle, bobbles and lace. Packaged kits are available for any pattern.

The perfect little stole is simple elegance for a cool summer evening-and fun to knit with Grassy Wool-a new bamboo and washable merino blend. Just two 420 yard skeins complete this wrap. Shown here is the new colorwash-Miss Peacock. Designed by Dee Smith.

 

French Faux Lace Socks
Paula Levy has reworked a Barbara Walker stitch pattern so that it is arranged in columns instead of on a diagonal offset that looks like lace when it is stretched. When this stitch pattern is combined with the bamboo blend of Grassy Wool , you have an open lacy sock that is cooler to wear in warmer temperatures. Indulge your tootsies -only 1 skein required, shown here in "Favorite Jeans".
