Roseberry Jumper

I went to Yarndale, a big yarn show in Skipton, Yorkshire, for the first time in 2022. I had a lovely time because I was born and brought up in Skipton so I met a lot of people I knew. At Yarndale I also met Ellie Stokeld, who has a flock of rare breed Border Leicester sheep literally in walking distance from my house on the edge of the North York Moors. How did I not know this before? The sheep are looked after until old age and their wool is lovely and soft. All Ellie’s yarn colours are named after local places. I walk up and around Roseberry Topping every week, so I had to buy the yarn colour named Roseberry Topping, and some other colours to go with it. I used to work in Byland Road, so I had to buy the colour Byland. And I had to knit a jumper using these colours, to wear while out walking.

This pattern is available in 9 sizes. the colourwork is straightforward with slipped stitches and only using one colour at a time. There are written instructions, charts and photo tutorials.
