    SAYER YARN KITS USING OUR BEAUTIFUL HAND-DYED WOLD WORSTED WEIGHT, 100% BRITISH WOOL ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO ORDER. Please note, this kit does not include the Sayer pattern. The pattern is only available by purchasing my new book, Echoes, which you can do by clicking on the link above.

    <Sayer is inspired by the character of Rose Sayer from the movie The African Queen, played by Katharine Hepburn. The primness of the character was cleverly emphasised by her high-necked Victorian-style blouse, with a layered, deep ruffled yoke. The shape of the blouse is reflected in this turtleneck sweater, with bands of coloured slip stitches replacing the lacy ruffles. Sayer is knitted in a heavy worsted-weight yarn, and the extra-long sleeves have a soft fullness to them. The sweater is worked from the top down. The work is divided at the underarm with the body and sleeves knitted separately.

    Sayer is knitted using Susan Crawford Wold Worsted a plump heavy-worsted weight yarn, spun from a blend of 100% British wools, hand-dyed in a fabulous range of colours.

    Sayer is shown here in two colour ways.
    Colourway One worn by Susan uses shades:
    Limestone, Trefusis, Foley, Swimming Pool, Tannin, Fitzroy and Orlando.

    Colourway two worn by Ruth uses shades:
    Grace, Garnet, Trefusis, Red Sky at Night, Moss Covered Wall, Edy and Orlando.

    Choose from one of the two colourways shown or alternatively choose the 'custom' option to select a shade of your choice from the beautiful range of colours in Wold Worsted.
