ROSE CARDIGAN YARN KITS USING OUR BEAUTIFUL HAND-DYED FENELLA YARN, A UNIQUE '3 PLY VINTAGE' WEIGHT YARN, CREATED TO REPLICATE VINTAGE YARNS OF YESTERYEAR AND SPUN FROM 100% BRITISH WOOL, ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO ORDER. YOU CAN NOW CHOOSE FROM A YARN ONLY OR YARN PLUS PDF YARN KIT.
Rose is the perfect 1950s cardigan, recreated from an original cardigan held in the Shetland Museum and Archives. It incorporates gently gathered, elbow length set-in sleeves, a neat crew neck and close-fitting silhouette. Rose features all-over patterning which includes dainty roses in pink and red, trailing ivy in peach and green plus elegant diamond shaped stripes in tones of fawn, beige, lemon and cream.
Rose is knitted in the round from the bottom up, with a steek at the centre front.
The pattern includes instructions for 7 sizes to fit chest measurements 71 - 127cm (28 - 50in). The pattern contains clear written instructions plus a comprehensive schematic diagram and sizing chart, together with clear charted instructions for the colourwork areas.
Rose is knitted using Susan Crawford Fenella, a vintage 3-ply weight wool, created to replicate the fine vintage yarns of this period. It is dyed in-house at our Lake District studio, in a wide range of vintage shades.
