Kismet Cowl by Rachel Illsley - a colourwork DK weight cowl from Rachel Illsley
Earlier this year we were very excited about the Kismet sweater by Rachel Illsley of Unwind Knitwear as it included our yarn, which is such an honour. Kismet is a colourwork sweater using four colours and small intricate patterns inspired by composer Alexis Ffrench. You can find the pattern for it sweater HERE. The sweater used Oakworth 4ply in Driftwood with three other 4ply/fingering weight yarns and so naturally we created yarn packs for it which you can find HERE. Our Oakworth 4ply yarn packs sold out but Milburn 4ply packs are still available now. This set is the closest colour match...
Pattern release: Dubonnet
For those who haven't seen it yet, Dubonnet is Thea Colman's latest cardigan release, and it uses ECY Oakworth DK (superwash Polwarth wool). Thea's original sample is shown in colourway Coppice, with the pockets in Falling Leaves. I hadn't had time to schedule in extra dyeing for the release date, so we ran pre-orders on ten batches of Oakworth DK - there is still some yarn available right now HERE. And for US customers, you can pre-order Oakworth DK (or order from their current stock) from Yarn Culture, which I am in the middle of dyeing right now....
