This is a fun kit to knit to celebrate our partnership with nature. What better partners than Bees and Butterflies. The kit comes with your choice of 2 colorways. Version 1 is the Summer Colorway. This is what the model is knitted in. It in comes with 5 skeins each with 200 yards of our own farm raised Hilltop Shetland Yarn. The Summer Version includes Natural Black, Rose Hips, Butternut, Northern Lights and Natural Fawn. Version 2 is the Spring Colorway. It includes Natural Grey Silver Streak, Fairy Dust Pink, Cancun, Prairie Grass Yellow and Natural White. Please specify which colorway version you would like when you order.
The pattern has clear large easy to read charts. And to make your knitting project more enjoyable and for those new to Fair Isle knitting, I have published a tutorial for this project here.
–Note…there is enough yarn to to create a 2nd hat or a matching cowl.
Your purchase helps to support our family farm and further helps to maintain heritage breeds of sheep.
