Yarn Kit – Mullein by Amanda Jones – in Cumbria Fingering

Mullein is a long rectangular wrap, designed by Amanda Jones, and features a gorgeous array of patterns and geometry. This project uses short rows in stripes, mixed with open work lace and bobbles to create a wonderful project for the advanced beginner who would like to practice more advanced techniques, and it will never get boring for the more experienced one.

The photos show the wrap in the Cumbria Fingering shades Fair Hill (Colour A lace sections) , Windermere (Colour B stripes and triangles), and Catbells (Colour C, the bobbles and tassels). Worked in three colours Mullein gives an opportunity to play with colour in combination with texture, whether you prefer neutral tonals or bright contrasts, or why not go for a third 'clashing' pop.
