Katie’s Kep Yarn
$24.00 – $48.00
Each year, the Shetland Wool Week selects a patron to design a pattern just for them.
This year, Wilma Malcolmson designed Katie’s Kep. It’s named after her mother – she comes from a long line of Shetland fair isle knitters! Â In fact, her granddaughter, Teri, teaches some pretty great classes too. Â Check out Wilma’s web site at shetlanddesigner.co.uk/Â and Terri’s web site: terrilaura.co.uk.
Knit in two to 6 colorways of sport or fingering yarn, you’re sure to find a way to make your Katie’s Kep your own.
Though the 2020 Shetland Wool Week has been cancelled due to COVID-19, you can still download the pattern for free. Â If you’d consider making a donation to the Shetland Amenity Trust (the group that runs Wool Week), they’ll be back better than ever next year! Â Click here to visit the pattern page and download your copy.
Shown is our Katie’s Kep, knit in 2 colors of Morehouse Merino 2-ply: Â a solid background color and a variegated foreground color. Â That means only 4 ends to weave in! Â The color variation is subtle and beautiful, and you eliminate the worries about color placement.
Get your pattern from Shetland Wool Week and pick out your yarn below. Â The kit price is just the price of the yarn, which ultimately depends on which you pick (a handpaint, a variegated, or a mini skein).
Our samples are shown in Natural Soft white as the background color, with Elderberry, Seacoast, and Beaujolais as the foreground colors.
This project is featured as a Knitalong in the Morehouse Merino Flock and casts on July 10, 2020.
We’ll learn or practice
– Fair Isle in 2 colors
– converting a multi-color chart to black and white
– Mock ribbing
and
–Â double decreases (don’t worry, they are a lot easier than they sound!)
