Three SPIRIT projects from WOOLADDICTS #17
Share
WOOLADDICTS #17 brings together knitting and crochet inspiration. CROSSING, UPLIFT and SOFT GLOW show how varied projects made with the same yarn can be: a pullover, an ear warmer and a sleeveless vest. Together, they offer an inviting way to discover the SPIRIT yarn and choose a project that suits your wardrobe.
Three designs, three project sizes
CROSSING: a statement pullover
CROSSING is a natural choice for makers ready to take on a larger garment. A pullover gives colour, texture and silhouette room to make an impact, creating a finished piece that can take centre stage in an outfit.
UPLIFT: a compact accessory
The UPLIFT ear warmer offers a focused project to enjoy between larger makes. Its compact format is also an appealing opportunity to follow a new pattern or try an expressive shade without committing to a full garment.
SOFT GLOW: made for layering
The sleeveless SOFT GLOW vest adds an adaptable layer to a handmade wardrobe. It can be worn over a T-shirt, blouse or lightweight pullover, making it easy to style across changing temperatures.
Making the most of SPIRIT
Using SPIRIT for all three designs does not mean each finished fabric will behave in the same way. Stitch pattern, gauge, size and finishing all shape the final result. Before starting, read the instructions in WOOLADDICTS #17 carefully and make a gauge swatch.
Colour can transform the personality of a project too. A vivid shade will turn UPLIFT into a focal point, while a quieter tone can make CROSSING or SOFT GLOW particularly versatile. Explore the selection of on-trend yarn colours for more palette inspiration.
A quick pre-project checklist
- Choose the design and size.
- Check the required yarn quantity and needle or hook size in the instructions.
