Since visiting the Wool Monty Show earlier in the year, I’m really trying to work with UK indie yarn more in my projects. It’s possible to make some lovely bags and cowls with one skein of such yarn, but I bought quite a lot of two skeins of sock yarn at the show, and that has opened up a whole range of ideas. This is my latest design, the Trellis Shawl, using two skeins of sock yarn from Cuddlebums, based in Halifax. I’ve also worked the pattern up, successfully, in a left-over half a Scheepjes Whirl with matching Whirlette. I loved making it so much, I’m now weighing up my 4ply/fingering/sock yarn stash to see what else I can make it with! Pattern can be found on Ravelry, Etsy and LoveCrafts.
