15.01.2022 Don’t you just love a free pattern ?! Why not try out Flashpoint by Knitting Apprentice on Ravelry This beautiful version of the beanie was made by a friend of the farm, Linda, whom we have shared projects from previously. It used approx 130 metres of Blackwattle 8 ply (DK) Alpaca + Merino blend yarn over two colours (Shadow of a Doubt & Dove Grey) to produce this quick and easy, reversible brioche hat/beanie. The pattern is written in two options brimless (a snuggly b...eanie) or brimmed (a slouchy beanie). Simply gorgeous! Give it a look next time you’re online, and be sure to share a picture with us if you do have a go! #blackwattleyarn Thank you again for sharing your talent with us Linda! #knittersofinstagram #yarnstagram #knittinginspiration #knitted #knittedbeanie #beanie #beaniepattern #freebeaniepattern #ravelry #ravelrypattern #briocheknitting #makeyourownfashion #knityourstyle #makersgonnamake #madewithlove #alpacayarn #alpacablend #merinoblend #flashpointhat #flashpointhatpattern #knittingapprentice

05.01.2022 Sometimes the most random of sights that we may pass by daily on our travels can hold such hidden beauty. Believe it or not something as nasty as an oil slick on the road was the initial visual inspiration for our Masquerade colourway! Truely, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...... #hiddenbeauty #inspiration #beautyisinthedetails #beautyisintheeyeofthebeholder #yarnart #yarnlove #yarndyeing #yarndyersofinstagram #crochet #knitting #colourways #artisandyedyarn #yarnspiration

05.01.2022 *MASQUERADE* Neons and fluros are funny, some people love them and some people don’t! But knitted up or crocheted, masquerade adds just enough of a pop of colour to impress without overwhelming. Vibrant blue, yellow and pink patches blend between the black wash, merging to make stunning rainbow pockets ... It’s another of our multi-faceted and more complex colourways, that has been a popular part of our standard colour collection for many years now. There’s been a few similar variations that have come and gone, but as long as this beauty is still loved we’ll keep loving to dye it for you! Masquerade is currently available on Blackwattle’s: - Grevillea 4ply (fingering weight) - Wattle 4ply (fingering weight) - Sweet Pea 4ply (fingering weight) - Kunzea 4ply (fingering weight) - Callistemon 8ply (DK) - Blue Gum 8ply (DK) Plus it’s also now available on our Banksia merino+hemp 8ply (DK)! #blackwattleyarn #masquerade #2021collection #2021colours
