Continuing the art deco theme with this new sock design: say hello to Greta 🧦 The colourwork motifs look and feel super luxurious in Northampton Shear Leicester Longwool. Pattern and kits launching very soon, along with the Marlene mitts shown earlier. ☺️

A hand wearing an art deco inspired knitted fingerless mitten reaches across to play a piano accordion keyboard. The mitten is a soft lavender blue with a silver grey zig zag pattern on it.

Coming soon… Marlene Mitts 🀍
Hopefully you can see the art deco inspo that led me in this design! Yarn is our home grown Northampton Shear Leicester Longwool in shades Astcote and Lamport.
I’ve also done something for sock lovers… all will be revealed very soon πŸ‘€

What have we brought with us to Unravel? Our very, extremely brand new variegated collection: Mysterious Mushrooms πŸ„βœ¨
We dyed it on Aysgarth, a lustrous fingering weight Wensleydale wool. 🀩
Come along and see it this weekend!
