We’ve had great fun at @yarnloftuk with the #wenlockcowl KAL!
News of a forthcoming KAL involving my Wenlock Cowl!
I’m excited to announce that San Donato Sweater is now live in my Ravelry store! I’m offering a 20% discount until end of November (UK time).
Coming soon! San Donato Sweater will soon be ready for release! Knitted using Ullcentrum 3-ply (a worsted weight yarn), available from @midwinteryarns , and with short or long sleeve options and straight or flared sides. It’s a super cosy winter knit!
My new sweater design is almost ready for release - watch this space!
Huge thanks to Midwinter Yarns for hosting my San Donato Sweater sample at Perth Festival of Yarn over the weekend! We’re finalising the test knit - please get in touch if you’re interested in taking part, or would like more details of sizing and yarn quantities to help make a decision. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s colour choices!
