3 PLY MISCELLANY
The following designs are from some of our books which are now out of print.
If you have the book, then they can be successfully made in our Hebridean 3 Ply. It has been very exciting to see these past designs taking on new life and new dimension due to the use of a more subtle and complex yarn.
Designs from Fisherman's Sweaters
MYSTIC
My complex anchor design shows perfectly in Hebridean 3 Ply, photographed here in Limpet. An amendment is provided to be used in conjunction with the instructions in the book. This garment no longer requires shrinking for the fit.
Available in any colour of Hebridean 3 Ply
INISHMORE
Here is another design that came out of the 'Inner Landscape' of abstract geometry. I wanted to create a pleasing geometric harmony, and it obviously struck a chord because this design has proved enormously popular in many different countries. A small amendment is supplied to be worked in conjunction with the instructions in Fisherman’s Sweaters, which is needed to make this project. There are two options for the collar: a roll neck as shown here, or a crew neck as shown in the book. Enough yarn is supplied in all packs to work either option.
