CRAFTY COFTER WOOL




It seems the only one of us not to have knitted a pattern using Crofter wool is Marie. Here is an example of a piece I have just recently finished, I had to carefully note the pattern on the wool when getting to the neck division so that both sides matched equally. I know that Alison (aka Mum) has made this same pattern whilst Sarah made a lovely pair of socks a couple of christmases back in the sock challenge Marie and her set one another as gifts. Oops, I forgot to mention about the wool! The Crofter wool has it's pattern pre printed or sprayed onto the yarn, so by simply knitting in an easy stocking stitch (knit one row, purl one row) you get a beautiful faire isle pattern all over the garment.
