With the arrival of Fibre Company’s exciting new yarn, Arranmore, comes a predictably lovely pattern collection from the design team at Kelbourne Woolens.
Inspired by traditional Irish knitwear, the Arranmore Collection features six sweaters, two hats, and a scarf.
Tweed yarns like Arranmore liven up simple stockinette, to be sure, but they do equally well in texture and cable patterns, and bring nuance to stranded colorwork.
Anne’s knitting “Carrowkeel” as a sample for the shop, using Arranmore in “Meara,” a deep blue with flecks of cobalt and red.
This cozy turtleneck is designed to be worn with positive ease, and looks like perfect North Carolina winter outerwear to me.
Meanwhile, I’ve been working on a “Finn Valley” sample, using Arranmore’s “St. Claire,” a natural white with flecks of beige and pale blue that really lets the cables shine. I’m sorry to report that this color is currently on backorder; let us know if it tops your list so we can alert you when it arrives!
Look for the Arranmore Collection along with Arranmore yarn here at the Hillsborough Yarn Shop!
