Jennifer Beale lives and creates from her home in St John’s, Newfoundland in Canada. With a background in atmospheric science and an early obsession with both calculus and art … let’s just say … there’s quite a bit to know about Jennifer so why don’t you take a little read of her website: HERE

Brimming with colours and melodic rhythms of stitches, Loch Leven is a Fair Isle pullover with a relaxed fit. It’s a modified drop-shoulder pullover with slight dolman shaping in the underarm. Worked bottom up and in the round to the armholes where two options are given, either continue across the armholes in-the-round with steeks or work across the armholes flat with no steeks. After the armholes, decreases shape the shoulder while you work in the round to the neck shaping and then continue flat as you shape the neck. Stitches are picked up around the neckline and the collar is continued in the round and folded to create a sturdy double layer. Stitches are picked up around the armholes, several short rows are worked to angle the sleeves and remove excess fabric at the underarm, and then the sleeves are worked in the round to the desired length.

Our Wool

Our yarn is a limited edition, seasonal product. In the Outer Hebrides, we shear our sheep on our crofts in late June. The wool is then graded, bagged and sent to the mill for spinning. After that there is no more … the dye is set.
