Rothesay

MARY HENDERSON has selected a range of classic Fair Isle colourwork motifs for her tam, armwarmers and cowl set. It is knitted in Marie Wallin’s British Breeds yarn - a mix of Bluefaced Leicester, Exmoor Horn, Wensleydale and Zwartbles wool. “British Breeds is a lovely, lovely wool to knit with, and soft enough to wear next to your skin,” says Mary. “The colours blend so well together for true muted beauty. This palette has an autumnal feel to it: ripe berries and flower’s last bloom.”

TAM

Using 3mm DPNs or circular needles, 40cm long, yarn F and the long-tail method, cast on 120 sts.
