🦋 Coat of Many Colours 🦋

So chuffed with my Seaglass Cardigan!

Made with many, many scraps. There are a lot of little dye samples in here. It felt good to put those to use and there are many left for some other future project.

I’ve added short rows at the bottom to lower the back a bit. As I often find that the front of my cardigans hang lower and the back rides up. Still undecided about adding buttons.

Pattern: Seaglass cardigan by Wool & Pine

‘Fudge’

A, for me, uncharacteristic neutral colourway. Brown, beige and bronze with some of the natural Haunui Wool Stone colour left undyed. Earthy and calm 😌

‘Hellebore’

There have been a few colourways in the past that were inspired by Hellebore flowers. It’s something I come back to every now and then. For a while I had a job picking flowers and those were my favourite. That might be why they keep inspiring me 🌸
