This listing features five handpicked red and pink skeins of BC Garn’s organic Bio Shetland fingering weight yarn. With its beautiful low-loft texture and rich, eye-catching colourways, this yarn is designed for knitting colourwork sweaters, but works fabulously as weft for tapestry weaving. The selected palette includes a balanced mix of light, medium, and dark tones—just what you need for successful and dynamic colourwork. These colours are even more striking in person.
The second image shows an Everlea Gradient using the colourways from this bundle of yarn (reds) and the 'blues' bundle.
Weft Face Weaving: Using #12 cotton seine twine as warp, use this yarn as weft single stranded at 12epi, or double stranded at 6epi.
Knitting Needle Size/Tension: 2.5-4.0mm | 24sts
Each 50g skein:
- Meters Per skein: 280 m
- Yards Per skein: 306 yds
How much yarn do you need for my online workshop?
For all Everlea workshops choose two or more differing colour groups. This will give you more than enough yardage for 10+ tapestries on Everlea looms and plenty of colour and value options.
How to choose which groupings:
For the best colourwork results, choose two or more groups which are very different from each other - from there, there are no bad choices. I've created groupings of four main hues: blues, purples, greens, and reds. Choose from different hues to get the most variety and colour success (ie green+red, red+blue, red+purple, green+purple etc). Avoid getting two from the same hue. Follow your gut when it comes to preference, but don't be afraid to try something different.
