15@themaltings Beanie Kit

Inspiration for 15@themaltings beanie

15@themaltings Beanie has been designed to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the unravel festival of yarn. Unravel is the biggest yarn show in South East UK, held in the town of Farnham, within the beautiful buildings that make up The Maltings. A standout feature of the Maltings is the bright orange exterior brickwork, warmly reflected in the river Way that flows alongside. Our commemorative beanie has been inspired by this view, with split rectangles in the main body depicting the dark windows against the stunning orange brickwork; whilst the stripes in the brim are reminiscent of the reflection of the buildings in the canal.

The beanie is knitted in our 4ply yarn, using 2 strands held together to create a luxuriously soft, airy fabric that feels warm yet light on your head.  We have chosen the bases to compliment the naturally botanically dyed yarns perfectly - Natural (a light heathery grey), Storm (deep grey) and Midnight Lagoon (deepest blue) in vintage 23. To make it an extra special beanie Lisa botanically dyed some of our vintage 20 yarn using Indigo, Cosmos & Coreopsis flowers, Madder root and Weld. Just like the buildings themselves, the beanie is simple yet visually striking.

These are all limited edition vintage Reserve colours as they are dyed on the stove in small batches.

A digital version of the pattern will be sent to your email after you complete your purchase.
