Hooked
Bloom with a view
Hole up through the cold winter months with Loop’s Flower Power Scarf Kit. Rustic earth tones come courtesy of hand-dyer Mette Mehlsen, who coloured the yarn with wild plants from her native Denmark. The scarf is hooked up with a series of floral granny squares, and the kit features all you need to make it – plus a bonus tote. Find it online at www.loopknittingshop.com
DYE GUIDE
Handcarved Hooks have expanded into hand-dyed yarn, and are giving away a free e-book on natural dying to celebrate.
The new skeins are dyed in earthy pastels using pokeberries, cherries, sarsparilla root, dandelions and even purple cabbage, and are available in a full range of weightings. Intrepid crafters can even try dying their own using the site’s free e-book. Get yours from www.handcarvedhooks.com/yarn
