During this time they have become conservators and stewards of the land, extending the formal and informal gardens, creating a lake to attract migratory birds, a canal, heritage orchards and nutteries. 15,000 trees have been planted to provide shelter for nesting birds and other wildlife and the wooded margins and hedgerows of the&#8230;]]>

Rowan Felted Tweed 220 Sulfur


Felted Tweed is a blend of wool, alpaca and viscose. It has a slightly rustic look with a soft feel, and one of its special qualities is its durability. Sweaters we knit over 5 years ago look as good as new, with little evidence of pilling or wear. 
And did you know all 8 designs, in Marie Wallin’s quintessential Bloomsbury Collection, (see Vanessa and Dora below), are knit in Rowan Felted Tweed. These patterns, previously&#8230;]]>

Here at TBF we’re all a bit obsessed with the Midori Hirose Paul Klee Sweater. This jumper is inspired by the paintings of Paul Klee and the yoke plays with colours from the artist’s palette paired in small square motifs. We’ll be using some combination of Shetland/British yarns (Midori’s sample is knit in Spindrift) and we’re thinking the sweater yoke would be an amazing canvas for the new Marie Wallin British&#8230;]]>

Sweater weather has arrived in Vancouver (yes, it snowed last night!) and we will be wearing one of our favourite (and warm) cardigans to celebrate--Marit in Tukuwool Fingering.  While the original was knit in an all-over design of 3 muted shades, we copied Tiina (WoolPower on Ravelry) and used a rainbow of heathered colours of Tukuwool on a neutral background.  (Hey, we realize that's a big commitment of yarn, but the&#8230;]]>

Spring is in the air and we're thinking about knitting with Quince & Co. Sparrow, a beautiful 100% organic linen flax yarn--perfect for the warm weather months ahead.  Sparrow is a versatile fingering weight yarn that can be knit in a wide range of gauges to create different fabrics textures.  In the skein and during the knitting process flax has a cool crisp feel, but with every&#8230;]]>

        January 26, 2015
        
            
        
        
            

        
        
            
It took three tries to find the perfect yarn combination for the Saga Cardigan! First try was Rowan Felted Tweed. The fabric was beautiful but the colours were too muted. Second swatch was Jamieson's Spindrift. Great colours but gauge would have yielded a fabric too airy for colourwork. Third try was the charm--Quince & Co. Chickadee Organic Heathers in Audouin and Jasper and Chickadee in Winesap.
