A truly British yarn, Moordale combines British wool and alpaca, with a range of neutrals and on-trend brights to choose from. The complimentary shades work beautifully together in colourwork, but shine equally when used on their own for lace, cables and texture. The fine micron wool and soft-to-the-touch alpaca give this yarn a robust but tender feel perfect for any season.
This soft yarn is perfect for accessories like the unisex Buckler Hat by Martin Storey. Texture throughout the hat makes it fun to make and wear. Plus, it only requires one skein for either of the two sizes.
Knit the ladies round neck sweater Tussock, a design by Martin Storey using Moordale. This simple sweater has pocket detail and contrasting rib edgings. The alpaca content in the yarn makes it slightly drapey which adds to the look of the pullover.
The Fields Wrap by Dee Hardwicke is the perfect addition to a cosy Winter wardrobe. It could be styled with the Fields Wrist warmers to create a matching accessory ensemble or worn alone as a statement piece. This wrap celebrates four of the new Seasonal Palette shades created by Dee: Feather, Dahlia Deep, Eucalyptus and Pewter. The pattern is available in the book Seasonal Palette Moordale. See this piece in the Rowan trunk show video on our YouTube channel. If you would like to order in this book and Dee's seasonal colours of Moordale, please email us info@rivercityyarns.com.
