Have you had a chance to play with once of our newest local yarns Gum Tree?

 

We love the way this super sheepy merino plays with Spincyle Dream State, and we have some inspiration for quick projects that pair Gum Tree with our custom colorway- Royal Mile! These patterns should all work up quick for these cool weeks before we really get to keep summer. We have these paired up for you to pick your favorite combo. The cowl patterns would count towards the Spincycle Cowlgirl KAL!
