Union Jack Bag Pattern

£2.00

What better way to show your dedication to British farmers, sheep and yarns than by making a union flag bag?! The red, white and blue really says everything you need it to say, but if you fancy being more individual play around with subtle or wacky colour and texture combinations. Felting is a fun way to transform soft yarns into practical accessories by just throwing them in the washing machine! Texere Troon Tweed is spun in oil, so knits very easily and totally changes when washed. Texere Airedale Aran is softer, without flecks and felts even easier. Try combining the two for unusual textures & effects.
This pattern has two designs included - red-white-blue & Green style bags

Simply Knitting said, "Lesley Stanfield clearly has a keen eye for flowers, as they burst out from the pages of this pretty book. From forget-me-not to poinsettia and lily-of-the-valley to mistletoe, garden favourites and exotic blooms, you'll find everything you need to make a bright bouquet or a pretty wreath ? including leaves, a few friendly insects such as a ladybird and a bee, and even fruit and veg! Each of the 100 patterns has clear written instructions to either knit or crochet the item, and the crochet patterns are also charted, making it really easy to see how the flower is constructed. You'll find great ideas for how to use finished flowers in the back of the book.?

Cashmerino Chunky by Debbie Bliss

This gorgeous yarn is a blend of 55% merino wool, 33% microfibre and 12% cashmere. It's a standard chunky weight yarn, perfect for luxurious and soft winter hand knits. However, it is a discontinued line and when it's gone, it's gone! So buy now while you have the chance! There is a small range of contemporary, rich shades that are ideal for cosy jackets and sweaters, snuggly hats and accessories or what about a sumptuous throws to cuddle under on a cold winter night? Go on, treat yourself!

Willow by Texere - 70% merino wool and 30% fine alpaca

We don't know the exact origin of this yarn, other than it was destined for the organic range of a very well known yarn company. It's a luxurious blend of 70% merino wool and 30% fine alpaca giving a lovely handle. We believe that it has been organically grown and dyed naturally using sustainable plant dyes - hence the soft palette of muted, natural shades. The yarn is a heavy DK and this could be the problem - not a standard ply. However, a bit of tweaking of any double knitting pattern and you should be fine.

Knit on 4.5mm pins to a tension of approx 19 stitches and 23 rows to a 10cm square.

Louisa Harding La Salute & La Salute Quattro.

**Discontinued - new lower price: was £4.35 now £3.50**
This is a beautiful Italian kid mohair knitting yarn by Louisa Harding in an irresistable collection of petal like soft colourways. Some shades are single colours and the Quattro range is the variegated version, but I have listed them together so you get the full range.
79% Kid Mohair and 21% Nylon.
The ballband suggests two tension of 4mm needles with a tension of 20 stitches and 28 rows over a 10cm square and 6mm needles with 14 stitches and 20 rows. 105m per ball. This means you can knit the yarn to a chunky pattern or a finer pattern and will either create a dense, cosy fabric or a light, airy fabric from the same yarn.
Gentle hand wash, can be dry cleaned, do not tumble dry, cool iron.
Kid mohair is such a popular yarn at the moment as it has a really long meterage per ball, so goes a very long way and is light and soft to the touch. Perfect for scarves and shawls, cardigans and sweaters.

Sirdar Snowball

This is Sirdar's fabulous "Scarf-in-a-ball" concept where one of these lovely big balls will knit a long, luscious scarf in no time at all - the first one I made took about 50 minutes! It's 100% polyester and the yarn is constructed of 4cm long snowballs spaced out evenly with a thinner yarn in between. There is a pattern for a scarf on the back of each ball band with clear instructions and diagrams as to how to complete your project. A finished scarf for an adult would be approx 2m long, but you could make two smaller scarves for children. A scarf made from Snowball is the perfect gift, whether you leave it 'til the last minute to make it or get addicted and make loads of them! There are lots of lovely colours to choose from solid classics, to wacky multi-coloureds. Time to get knitting folks!!
