Flower Power Colourwork Kit

This kit includes the yarns I used for the colourwork in my Fatherland sweater yoke, the design is by Olga Putano. I had plenty left over which I am using in my Northery Sweater, a design by Boylandknitworks.

1 x 100gram skeins of Yama Merino Linen Singles in Psychedelic Magenta
1 x 100gram skeins of Yama Merino Linen Singles in Grape Fruit
1 x 50gram skeins of Yama KidSilk in Psychedelic Magenta

PLEASE NOTE: The main colour (Stone) is NOT included in this kit, find it under the Merino Linen Singles listing.The pattern can be purchased on Ravelry.com and is NOT included in the kit.

Start knitting the yoke chart with Pshychedelic Magenta Merino Linen Singles, then change for the flower to Grape Fruit Merino Linen Singles held with Psychedelic Magenta KidSilk held together.

Yama Merino Linen Singles is a soft single ply, fingering weight yarn with rustic appeal. Popular for hats, shawls and sweaters. Tip! Hold together with a strand of Yama KidSilk or Cobweb Lace for a luxuriously soft fabric. Hold double for colourwork and marling projects in combination with Merino Linen Worsted.

Dye batches vary, please make sure to purchase enough yarn to complete your project. There are also variation within batches, please remember to alternate skeins when working on larger pieces of fabric. Variegated skeins take more effort to produce and are charged for a little extra. The skeins you receive may not be the identical skeins form the photograph.

Care Instructions: Garments can be machine washed on a gentle cycle however I recommend hand washing in cool water. Soak in a wool wash and rinse in clean water with a drop of essential oil. Roll in a towel to get the water out and dry flat.

Note that very dark saturated colourways such as Ursus can give off some residual dye on the hands while knitting, this is called “crocking”, read about it on the “Care Instructions” page under Info in the main menu.
