We are so excited to have byLaxtons here in the shop! It all arrived last week, and the yarnistas have been finding patterns for fall and winter makes for this incredible British Wool. For Must Make Monday, we have chosen the Florafetti pattern. We love this for the fully traceable DK yarn we just got in–Wooltrace DK! Each magical skein of this yarn has a QR code helping you trace the fibre back directly the farm where it originated.
About the yarn
Laxtons Wooltrace DK is a mix of two different types of wools, creating a beautiful heathered look to this yarn that we just can’t resist. A blend of Bluefaced Leicester and Masham sheep makes a 100% Wool blend that is sourced, milled, and dyed in the Britain. The colors they have are inspired by Yorkshire landscape and we just know that you’ll fall in love with the yarn just as we have.
About this Design
This slipover is a great season transitioning piece and can be worn over a tank in summer or over a button-down or long dress in fall and winter. This perfect-for-all-seasons piece is knit in top down with panels and seamed together, finished off with embroidered flowers!
