    PATTERN INFORMATION PAGE

    FLORA YARN KITS USING OUR VERY SPECIAL HAND-DYED BYRE FINGERING WEIGHT YARN, SPUN FROM 100% BRITISH BREED WOOL ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO ORDER. Please note, this kit does not include the Flora pattern. The pattern is only available by purchasing A Stitch In Time Volume 3 - The Colourwork Edition.

    Flora is a stunning floral inspired vest with a romantic, botanical mood. Flora features a low cut front neckline and a close fitting shaped body with a fabulous floral motif which is repeated throughout the garment. Flora is knitted in the round, with increases positioned to ensure continuity of the pattern throughout. Steeks are added at the armholes and front neck.

    The pattern includes eleven sizes to fit from 71–157cm (28–62in) chest with a choice of three lower body lengths for all sizes.

    Flora is knitted using Byre a fingering weight, 100% British wool spun for us in nearby Yorkshire and dyed in-house by Susan's daughter, Charlie. It is worsted spun for a soft handle in a unique blend of Jacob and Shetland wools.

    Flora is shown here in Colourway One using the natural undyed shade of Dry Stone Wall as the background shade, plus hand-dyed shades of Undergrowth a dark green, Loam an intense dark brown and Red Sky in the Morning a soft, pinkish-red.
