Behold the spectacular color stylings of Badlands 100% linen from Trailhead Yarns.
If you love knitting with linen for the summer (and if you don't, you should!), you'll be as obsessed with this stuff as we are. Trailhead Yarns are hand-dyed by Samantha in the Ottawa Valley using only the finest dyes and eco-friendly techniques on a Euroflax linen base to create inspired colorways ranging from light and dappled to softly saturated. Ahhhh!
Need some pattern inspo?
We thought you might say that!
Shown up above is Sandpiper by Jamie Thomas, knit and photographed by woolythyme1 on Ravelry. She used 2 skeins and #8 needles and said...
"Love it love it love it love it love it - it was too easy to be this cute!!!!!!!!"
A couple other sunshine-y ideas: The Renata Tee by Felecia O'Connell is a quick and easy loose-fitting top with lots of texture and i-cord edging. Knit flat in two pieces, you'll need 3-4 skeins of Badlands for sizes 35 (37, 39, 41, 43)". The pattern is available for purchase on Ravelry.
The Tumble Cardi is a perennial Loops favorite for linen. Almost every Loops Trooper has made one, and it looks amazing on every body type! You'll need 4 skeins of Badlands and size 7 circular needles. The Loops Original pattern is available for purchase on Ravelry.com, but we'll include the pattern free with your purchase of 4 skeins upon request. Add a note to your order at checkout.
P.S. Don't wait too long to buy this yarn. We don't have that much...and I may be headed up to grab some right now ;-)
