Featuring colourwork reminiscent of a lattice with an elegant, dainty motif, Rekindling is a story of returning to love and affection, and the support that comes with it. Reach for your favourite DK weight sock yarn and after a few hours of working affection into every stitch you’ll have something cosy and warm, either for yourself or someone you love.
