Description

Pure Natural Alpaca DK Yarn Roan Grey

This British Alpaca DK yarn in Roan Grey is 100% pure alpaca fibre.  It is spun from finest fleeces from alpacas farmed in the UK.  The fleeces are painstakingly cleaned, blended and sorted on the farm.  Roan is a blend of white and naturally coloured fleeces which have produced a pale grey yarn with a subtle hint of brown.

This soft & fine alpaca double knitting weight wool has been spun for us in the West Country.  The yarn has been woollen spun which makes it slightly plumper than our worsted spun yarns.  This yarn is suitable for knitting or crochet.  It knits to patterns for standard DK weight wool , but check your tension with a swatch first.

There are approximately 106 metres per 50g.

Sold in 50g balls.

    Designer Knitting Patterns True Brit Knits Tiggywinkle Pattern £3.50
    Add to Wishlist

    Tiggywinkle’s sleeves are knitted flat, the body knitted flat and all in one piece to the armholes and then the sleeves are joined in and the raglans worked. By the time you’ve finished you’ve only got to swap needles for the moss stitch border and then pick up stitches for the front bands and do a tiny bit of seaming on the sleeves. If you’re knitting in advance of Baby’s arrival and don’t know the gender then work buttonholes on both bands, then when you do know the gender and come to sew on buttons it’s easy to close one set of buttonholes up when you sew the buttons on.
    Tension: 21 sts and 27 rows to 10cm over stocking stitch on 4mm nds.
    Sized to fit: 3(6, 12, 18, 24) months.
    Finished size: 50(53, 56, 59, 60)cm / 19¾(21, 22, 23¼, 23½)”.
    Yarn: Town End Alpacas 100% Alpaca DK. 3(3, 3, 4, 4)x 50g balls. Shown in Mid Fawn.
    3 buttons, approximately 1cm / ⅓” diameter. 3.25mm and 4mm needles, OR the size required to give you the correct tension.
    Your preferred needle / latch hook for darning ends in.

    Designer Knitting Patterns True Brit Knits Beatrix Pattern £3.50
    Add to Wishlist

    A sweater with eyelets and ribbon. Beatrix is quite a girly sweater as photographed but there’s no reason you couldn’t make a quite manly Beatrix for a baby boy if you used a neutral colour and perhaps some grosgrain ribbon in blues and greys.
    Beatrix is knitted both flat and in the round and seamed whilst the body is knitted in the round, then the sleeves joined in and the yoke and neck finished off in the round. Easy enough to convert the sleeves to knitting either on dpns or circs if that’s your thing (just cast on 2 less sts than the pattern dictates). The eyelets spiral around the yoke and beg to have pretty (or more manly) ribbon threaded through. We’ve knitted it here in one of the Fawn shades with ribbons in dusky pink, soft bluey-grey and a golden fawn, but an Ivory sweater with gold and cream ribbon would be lovely as a christening sweater or a Pewter version would look great with more on-trend fluorescent ribbons, or as we’ve already said, with boyish blues and greys.
    The sizes are generous but not over-sized, giving room for growth without a ridiculous amount of ease. If you want something closer-fitting then just pick your chest size and alter the length to suit.
    Tension: 21 sts and 27 rows in stocking stitch on 4mm needles.
    Sized to fit: 3(6, 12, 18, 24) months.
    Finished sizes: 49.5(53, 57, 59, 61)cm, 19¾(20¾, 21½, 23½, 24½)”.

    5(5, 5, 6.5, 6.5)m in total* velvet ribbon, approximately 0.5cm width. Ours came from V V Rouleaux. * if you’re using different colours you need from 1.25m(49″) to around 1.6m(64″) per colour, depending on size knitted.
    3.25mm and 4mm circular needles, approximately 40cm long OR the size required to give you the correct tension. Your preferred needle / latch hook for darning ends in.
