Waves of Change

Denise Bayron's Waves of Change Pullover takes its name from the purl ridges that create concentric rings around the piece like the ripples in still water. 

Denise designed Waves of Change in response to the tumultuous events of 2020, a year that, in her words, "brought unexpected change: a global pandemic, the murders of black and brown people in America, responsive and heartwarming global support for Black Lives Matter, and a presidential election that has divided the nation. Like a stone dropped into still waters creates a ripple effect, we too can create a wave of change. I believe every single person has the power to effect change through daily acts of kindness." 

Waves of Change is a gender-neutral, size-inclusive, raglan pullover worked seamlessly from the top down with German short-row shaping in the back (with video tutorials included in the pattern). The body is designed to be boxy with a slightly cropped silhouette and can be knit to your desired length.

Life's Rich Tapestry

Susan Ashcroft's Life's Rich Tapestry is a relaxing and flexible knit (you can just stitch until you run out of yarn or like the size) that employs mosaic knitting, a technique that uses simple slipped stitches to achieve a complicated-looking colorwork effect without all the complicated colorwork knitting. Win-win! Enjoy the subtle and surprising color changes of silk/wool Noro Tsubame while you enjoy some easy summer hours knitting this beauty.

Dige

Woolfolk Fleck has been a favorite of Spun staff and customers alike since it debuted a few years back. Josée Paquin has been a favorite designer of Spun staff and customers, too. Hmmm. What to do, what to do?

If you come to the shop, you'll see pretty Dige hanging by our Woolfolk Fleck shelves, and if you're like most folks, you'll stop and ask, "Can I see the pattern for that vest?"

Dige is worked seamlessly from the top down. With its straightforward construction and simple cable pattern, it's a great option for an intermediate knitter or the advanced beginner looking to level up their skills.
