Description

ARAN is the first collection using our new British Breeds Aran yarn. The designs are mainly inspired by traditional Fairisle motifs, ornamental patterning, more intricate twisted stitch, and traditional cabling textures. The garment silhouettes are an easier or oversized fit except for ‘Budle’ and ‘Alnwick’, which are more fitted. Within the collection, there are 7 designs which are knitted in the round, 4 of which use steeks. There are 5 sweater designs, 4 cardigan designs, 1 slipover design and 2 accessory designs, a total of 12 amazing designs!
