As discussed in our previous post, its not always easy imagining colours together especially knit up in a pattern or stitch that you haven't tried before. Starting a big project right off the bat can be nerve wracking because of this, not wanting to spend countless hours and skeins on a colourscape and pattern you're not thrilled about. So, naturally, making a little tester (a swatch) helps!


Divya and Swaran of Michigan Fine Yarns came to the Koigu farm to visit last week to get inspired and show off their new gorgeous shawl they are launching - The Elliot Shawl!
