Handpainted Wool Kits |
Seeing a collection of Fleece Artist kits together can be overpowering to the knitter unfamiliar with their products. The amazing combinations of hand-dyed colours in each kit is beautiful on it's own, but when you see a group of kits together, the explosion of colour is takes your breath away!
Camilla Valley Farm is pleased to be able to offer a series of distinct knitting kits from this Canadian company. Fleece Artist was established 25 years ago to supply fellow textile artists with natural fibres. Over this time their collection of products has grown and they now hand-dye many colourways in silks, wools, kid mohair, alpaca, cashmere and other fibers.
The kits we currently stock are:
This kit combines a skein of Curlylocks and Mo Yarn. Curlylocks is a Boulce-like yarn made from Kid Mohair while the Mo is a very soft Mohair like yarn. The yarn content of both is 78% Kid Mohair, 13% Wool and 9% Nylon and the colours are absolutely beautiful!
The jacket is knit double-stranded on 6mm straight needles with a gauge of 14 stitches per 4 inches. There is a total of 17.6 ounces (500 grams) of yarn in total.
The finished jacket has a length of 24 inches (61 cm) and a diameter of 43 inches (109 cm) measured under the arm. The button/clasp pictured is not included in the kit. This kit can also be used to produce a beautiful woven or knit shawl or scarf. Click Here to see a picture.
