A couple of weeks ago this beautiful design came out and I just couldn’t help myself to start knitting it (& putting 2 other knits on hold ) 😅
.
🧶It’s #sammensatt by @elsebethjudith
.
I am using our Antares GGBl.
.
Please note: The yarn I am using has a different weight to the original pattern! And therefore I am using smaller needles, etc.
.
But, it’s going to look stunning I think 🤩 . I’ve just got to decide now on the sleeve length: short, medium or long 🤔

Our Antares range is back in stock (apart from BBW - brown brown white - which Nick is spinning this weekend, so available early next week 😉).
Sorry it took a little longer than planned… but it’s strange times at the moment 🙈

Antares is a merino/ suri alpaca blend (80/20), natural in colour and amazingly soft and squishy 🦙❤️

Are you looking for something gorgeous to knit? 🧶
The Purlcode Sweater by Isabell Krämer is one of my absolute favourites and is knitted in our La Bella yarn- one of our most popular yarns 🧶🧶🧶
.
It’s a fun project where you incorporate your own story using morse code 😉

It has been a very stressful and sad week for us.
We finally had to say goodbye to Forte yesterday.
Forte was our first alpaca (with his mate) and started us on this journey of alpaca breeding and turning their fibre into beautiful yarns.

Heartbreaking 💔

RIP Forte 💕
