Dunvegan
by Ilga Leja
Suggested Yarn: Double knitting or light worsted weight yarn in the following amounts:
Main Colour (MC)--Pewter: 115 m./126 yds.
Contrast Colour (CC1)--Ivory: 105 m./115 yds.
Contrast Colour 2 (CC2)—Red Fox: 30 m./33 yds.
Evoking the town of Dunvegan on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, the Dunvegan tam (or beret) reflects the natural colours of a northern vista, matching beach and marsh.
Worked in the round with the Fair Isle technique of two colours per round, it uses a handpainted yarn with colour variations that play across the fabric.
