A traditional FairIsle yoke Sweater, designed exclusively for us by award winning knitwear designer Helen Connington. Knit in pure Wensleydale 4-ply yarn.

Named in memory of the floods which devastated large parts of the Yorkshire Dales during the Summer of 2019.

The knitting kit includes the Pattern and pure Wensleydale Longwool Sheep Shop worsted spun 4 Ply yarn (two x 50g balls of contrasting colour plus the main colour quantity you choose).

The jumper is knit on 2.5mm and 3mm needles.

Select the two wool colours of your choice (main and contrast). You can choose your own colour combinations (see colour chart), or choose from one of our sample pictures. If unsure give us a call.
