Fiber Muse

Great Pattern For Handspun Yarn

This garment is an easy, fast knit and is comfortable to wear with no falling off the shoulder syndrome. This design features knitted stockinette in the round, from the bottom up, steeking, and fringe, also included a version for knitting flat (no steek) with or without fringe.

I am a member of the Fort Wayne Flax and Fleecers Spinning Guild. Each month of 2013 and 2014 we spun a new breed of sheep’s wool. We were given about 1 ounce each month of a specific breed to spin in any way we wanted. This design is meant to show case each month’s fiber for the breeds of sheep we received in 2014. For finishing, the garment is aggressively blocked which helps even out any inconsistencies that may have occurred from spinning such different breeds of sheep.

Grab some sheep breed sampler’s at your local fiber mill or fiber festival and try the Fiber Muse. You may learn some new fibers and have a comfy, stylish garment to show off all your handy work.
