Yarn Stories Heritage Collection

The new Yarn Stories Heritage Collection has just been released! The beautiful photographs for the collection were all taken at the Yarn Stories Yorkshire spinning mill. The collection theme is all about the tradition of the mill and the new designs have also been named to reflect the theme. I'm delighted that my new sweater design, Winder, is in this gorgeous collection. Winder is knitted in Yarn Stories 4ply and the stunning shade is Cobalt.

My design was inspired by a simple leaf shape with an Art Deco twist. A single row of leaves form the lower border of the sweater. These leaves are joined to the upper body pattern using long lines of wide rib. The upper body has rows of leaves extending from shoulder to shoulder. Each leaf is filled with moss stitch texture. The wide rib has a background stitch of reverse stocking stitch giving the pattern an embossed, raised look.

The Heritage Collection has six stunning designs. All the designs except Winder, are knitted in Fine Merino DK. Bobbin by Charlotte Johnson is a two colour cardigan with interlinking chevrons knitted  in shades blackberry and thistle. Reel, a cardigan designed by Katya Frankel is knitted in shade Iced Teal and features a beautiful delicate leaf and cable pattern. Roving by Amanda Crawford is knitted in  shade bottle and has a lovely cabled diamond pattern on the back. Twist, also designed by Amanda Crawford is an elegant jumper with a scoop neck, knitted with cables and eyelets in shade Fuchsia. Yarn Stories have also included a new version of my Feldspar sweater. Version II has longer sleeves and a longer body and has been reknitted in shade fuchsia. 

All these beautiful designs, including my Winder pattern are available to buy on the Yarn Stories website or through Ravelry.
