Weatherhouse Yarn Kit

WEATHERHOUSE YARN KITS USING OUR BEAUTIFUL HAND-DYED BLUEM SOCK, FINGERING WEIGHT YARN ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO ORDER. This pattern was originally published in my book Echoes, so you can choose to buy either a yarn-only kit (if you already have the pattern) or a yarn-and-PDF-pattern kit.

The yarn-and-PDF kit includes the PDF pattern at a 15% discount compared with buying separately.

The Weatherhouse shawl is a simple triangular shawl featuring a bold, striped pattern and multi-coloured tassels. Commencing with a garter tab, the shawl is worked from the centre top with increases at either side of the spine and the side edges. After stocking stitch stripes are worked, an eye-catching striped slip-stitch pattern follows and, finally, a striped garter stitch border. The shawl uses only 25g of each shade, making it a great way of using up small amounts of yarn. The shawl was inspired by a book of the same name, The Weatherhouse by Nan Shepherd, first published in 1930.

Weatherhouse is knitted using Susan Crawford Bluem Sock, which is a stunning yarn, spun for us at a local mill and hand-dyed in our small studio in the Lake District. This yarn is spun to be both strong and smooth, giving an incredible stitch definition.

Your kit contains a 25g skein of each of the seven shades used - Hay Bale, Apple Blossom, Undergrowth, Baling Twine, Rock Pool, Farm Gate and Room of My Own.
