The Cowl Collection Yarn - Hand Dyed by Knitted Kneil
Kneil, of Knitted Kneil Fibers, hand-dyed aran weight yarn for us in two colors,
tones of aubergine and chartreuse.
We then gave two designers one skein of each color and they got to work designing.
The result is two patterns, one a brioche knit marvel, the other mosaic crochet beauty.
Purchase the yarn by the skein or in a kit with both patterns.
As part of our Artisan Space Artisans program, 75% of the net profits from the sale of the kits and yarn goes to the artisans. For too long, the industry has short changed the creatives that make our industry work. At Artisan Space, we want to change that.
They do the work… we pay them for that work. Period.
