This fabulous kit will contain all the exquisite yarn you need to create the awe inspiring Jeannie top from The Vintage Shetland Project Jeannie is a delicate garment with an all-over colour-work pattern originally created by Jeannie Jarmson of Shetland in the 1930s. The slightly loose fitting blouson style of the top is typical of this period. Jeannie is worked in the round from the bottom up with steeks added at the armholes and front neck to enable a seamless construction. The shoulders are then joined together using three-needle bind-off. The deep neckline is emphasised with unusual mitred corners at centre front which are then held in position with decorative buttons.
Your kit includes our stunning Perle Blend yarn, a gorgeous blend of 50% pure silk and 50% cashmere. The silk provides lustre, drape and sheen, the cashmere brings additional embracing softness and added warmth plus just a little more 'bite' improving the knitability of the yarn. A truly sensational partnership!
Your yarn kit includes nine beautiful hand-dyed shades wound into delightful mini-skeins and presented in a beautiful gift box, keeping your yarn safe until you begin to knit, or gifting it to a knitterly friend.
