This pattern was designed as part of “A Traveller’s Dye-ry” - a unique project lead by Janice Anderson of BaaWool with her daughter and photographer Jenny Anderson. Inspired by a selected country from Jenny’s travel photography, each dyer created a unique colour-way which were subsequently supported by an intricate design.

Photography, hand dyed yarn and designs are currently exhibited (from Monday 4th to Saturday 9th October, 10am to 5pm), at the wonderful gallery and popup shop Hy, in Stonehaven, Scotland. A beautiful coffee table book completes the display.

To find more about the exhibition, visit Baa!, yarn shop at the heart of this project, or read their latest blog post about the event.

About the pattern:

Featuring a touch of lace at the hem, running up the side of the camisole, as well as elegant, textured straps, this feminine camisole reflects the delicate balance between man and nature in Myanmar.

The yarn in this pattern is the “Myanmar” colour-way by Cosmic Strings.
