Well hello and welcome to our latest make-along - the ‘Dream Along’ - it’s a stunner! If, like me, you put your knitting needles down in the heatwave it’s time to pick them up, dust them off, join in and create a dreamy trans-seasonal waistcoat. It’s a dream to make and a joy to wear!
Dream Cloud is the latest launch from our number one brand Stylecraft. It is a beautifully soft, chunky wool blend yarn with a light, airy feel. Combining 66% acrylic, 18% polyester and 16% wool it has a lovely drape and gentle bounce. It is a super light, chunky yarn so perfect for an August knit, plus there are eight heavenly shades from brights to more muted tones.
I initially saw this yarn a few months ago and fell in love - it was on my make-along list straightaway. It is super soft and feels like it should be so much more expensive than it actually is. It comes in 100g balls, 200 metres on each ball and is only £4.75 per ball. I love, love, love it!
The focus of our ‘Dream-Along’ is going to be a stunning Waistcoat pattern which is an exclusive pattern just for local yarn stores. Buy four balls or more of Dream Cloud (either online or in store) and you will receive a FREE printed copy of this pattern, it’s oversized with a beautiful inter-locking cable design on the back.
However the pattern collection for Dream Cloud also includes simple tank tops, tie neck cardigans and sloppy joe sweaters. So if a waistcoat isn’t your thing then pick another pattern and join the fun.
As always with a Black Sheep MAL there will be lots of hints and tips and help along the way, plus yarn reviews, an overview of the pattern and so much more. I will be doing a Facebook live cast on on Monday 3rd August at 7pm and we’d love you to share your progress on the Black Sheep Wools Make Along Facebook group
So shake off your summer blues, forget about the gardening and join us in realising your dreams of that perfect garment. The Dream Cloud Waistcoat is one that you will wear again and again!
