Maggy Yarn Kit

This kit contains all the yarn you need to knit the versatile Maggy waistcoat.

Maggy is knitted with Byre, a fingering (4 ply) weight yarn which is spun from 100% British wool at a nearby mill in Yorkshire. Barn is a blend of Jacob and Shetland fleeces creating a beautifully soft, airy, tonal, naturally grey yarn. This natural shade is called Dry Stone Wall which is used as the background shade in this all-over colourwork vest.

In addition this stunning yarn has been hand dyed in four rich shades to create the rich, autumnal hues for Maggy. These four shades have been inspired by the farm landscape - both organic and industrial - around me: Undergrowth is an intense, deep green reflecting the shadows between the foliage in the trees in Monkley Ghyll wood; Moss Covered Wall is a vibrant, light green created to suggest the mosses that grow on every surface; Berry Picking a rich, dark purple reminiscent of blackberries and Hay Bale - as the name suggests, the colour of hay tightly packed into bales. These stunning hand dyed yarns have been hand dyed by Susan and her team. If you would prefer to select your own colour palette select Custom Colourway from the drop down menu.
