Kinfolk by Maddie Harvey
We’re thrilled that Maddie Harvey has designed The Kinfolk Shawl using our very own Cheviot Marsh and Yeavering Bell yarn.
Kinfolk is part knitting adventure, , and partly an invitation to explore nature by collecting little treasures
Walking along a beach or a forest trail, it’s always tempting to collect little treasures from nature. Be it shells, berries, or
pinecones, when you look closely at your cache, you notice that each piece in your collection is similar but different. Each
periwinkle shell might be alike in shape, but there’s variation in pattern, in size, in colour: the shells are akin to one another.
The Kinfolk shawl has been designed in two halves that are akin to each other, and when finished, you’ll find it’s the perfect
thing to wrap around a member of your kinfolk, especially when they’re in need of an extra woolly hug on a chilly autumn
evening.
YARN
The shawl has been designed to use two full skeins of Cheviot Marsh 4ply, ideally one light (yarn A) and one darker (yarn B).
These two main colours are worked alongside three contrast colours of Yeavering 4ply mini-skeins.
The contrast colours mostly play against yarn B in the shawl, so they should contrast well with B.
We’ve put together some colour combinations to help you choose, but you can of course pick any colours that you wish! The Yeavering Bell colours can be seen in the photo gallery, and the Cheviot Marsh colours are at the bottom of this page.
