Spruce Forest
SOFT, WARM and colourful, these gloves
will be entertaining to knit. They feature a
stranded colourwork pattern inspired by
Scandinavian forests, and Latvian braids
around the wrists worked in the same
colours. The cuffs have a picot edging and
folded hem for a neat finish. Caroline
Birkett’s design is knitted in Wensleydale
Gems, a pure wool from West Yorkshire
Spinners that comes in 20 lustrous,
jewel-like colours.
