ABOUT THE CLOUDS YARN KIT
The Clouds neckerchief was inspired by a textile design of the same name, designed by Duncan Grant, a prominent member of the Bloomsbury set, in 1931. Clouds and rain over the duck pond at his home and studio, Charleston, were the inspiration for his orginal abstract design. I have then abstracted this further to create a knit-friendly intarsia pattern. The neckerchief is softly triangular in shape and is knit from end to end commencing with just a few stitches, increasing at one side only until the desired number of stitches have been reached before decreasing at the same rate until the correct number of stitches remain for casting off. An I-cord style edging is knit into the piece so no additional edging is required. The pattern is worked predominantly using intarsia techniques, with small amounts of stranded colourwork (fair isle). Additionally embroidery and duplicate stitches are incorporated into the surface pattern after knitting has been completed.
Clouds is knitted using a choice of two yarns - Our sample is shown in Susan Crawford Byre, fingering weight yarn a naturally grey yarn spun from a blend of 100% British wools, and hand-dyed especially for this project at our Lake District studio. The natural grey base results in a slightly heathered, soft tone to all the shades, linking the eight very different colours together with the grey undertones.
Alternatively, if you prefer a slightly more saturated version of this gorgeous neckerchief, we have also dyed eight shades especially for this project in Susan Crawford Lock, Sock yarn a fingering weight, cream yarn, spun from 100% British Lonk sheep fleece blended with nylon. This combination makes the colours slightly bolder and more solid in tone.
