The BLÆST Scarf Set has been designed by the talented Andreas Ruthemann (@ruthemann_design), who`s a dear friend and with who we already collaborated before with the April Snow Wrap set.
We have teamed up with Andreas to create 2 stunning colourway options - designed/re-designed specifically for the Scarf.

The kit includes 2 skeins of fingering weight variegated yarn + 2 skein of fingering tonal contrasting colourway on our lovely Non-Superwash Merino base.

Please note that all yarns shown on the photos are non-superwash Merino.

The pattern is not included in the kit. To purchase it, please click here.

THE STORY BEHIND
BLÆST is a scarf design featuring the assigned pooling method – not only as a decorative means,
but for a practical reason, too.

Up here in the north, it’s never really windstill – even in summer. This makes hot temperatures more bearable, but on the other hand, it’s challenging if you like to wear your scarves and shawls nicely draped. At the first step outside, the ends start flying around looking messy.

This scarf design features randomly spread buttonholes and is framed by a ribbed buttonband. These features allow for fixing your drape – making sure it will stay in place, even on stormy days.

ABOUT
Blæst scarf is an assigned pooling project where colour accents turn into buttonholes. The scarf is framed by a ribbed buttonband which is knitted in rounds. Randomly placed buttons allow to fix the scarf in whatever style you’re wearing it, making sure it stays in place even on windy days.

DIMENSIONS
The finished scarf measures about 1,80 m x 0,43 m / 71“ x 17“ after washing and blocking.

GAUGE
20 sts x 38 rows = 10 cm / 4“
For a shawl or wrap, the size is not really important so don’t worry if you don’t meet the exact gauge.

...

Each skein is hand-dyed in small batches and variations between skeins should be expected. We dye and store all of our yarn in our smoke-free and pet-free home. Due to the individual nature of hand-dyed yarn, I would always recommend alternating skeins.

The skeins has been photographed in natural light to give you the best representation of colour, but please be aware that screens and monitors can differ slightly. I cannot guarantee that your device's display of any colour will be accurate.

High quality acid dyes are properly set before washing and rinsing twice to assure the colour adheres correctly, however some bright or extreme colours may bleed slightly in the first wash.

Thank you for stopping by!
