Kelbourne Woolens Cricket Trunk Show
We are stoked to have a new trunk show in space! We have the trunk show for one of our favorite fingering weight yarns, Kelbourne Woolens Cricket! Come check out this unique yarn in person, all knit up!
If you’ve ever played with Kelbourne Woolens Lucky Tweed, Cricket is its baby cousin. The same super-soft, rustic look tweed as Lucky, but in a fingering weight. Like Lucky, Cricket is made in Donegal, Ireland, and has the same rich, deep colors with flecks of contrasting tweed. This single-ply is sure to become a favorite for colorwork and textured projects and Kelbourne Woolens has released a delightful series of patterns that show off this yarn to it’s best advantage. We’ve also included some of our own inspiration for you below as well – happy stitching!
