Hops and Meadow Shawl Kit (Annual Four)
We now offer handy kits for all our patterns in The Annual (issue four). This is the heavenly Hops and Meadow Shawl kit by Jule Kebelmann, and all kits include enough yarn to knit the shawl, along with a limited edition button badge and a fab project bag to keep it all safe. Happy knitting! Please be aware that the kit does not include a copy of the Annual as we know some of you will have ordered them separately.
The untamed garden contains many climbing plants, like hops, which grow rapidly, winding themselves around fences, buildings and even other plants. The delicate creeping lace and cabled edging of this shawl celebrates that exuberance, while the body evokes wildflower meadows with their bold pops of colour nestled among the long grass. Made with our hardiest DK yarns, Appledore and Devon Naturals, it’s guaranteed to keep you warm when collecting your harvest from the kitchen garden, or taking a break to listen to the birds.
