Drift

The simplicity of Drift belies the true genius of the design. Fay uses a new tapestry colourwork method of her own invention which produces flawless pattern definition and clean colour changes.

Yarn

Weku Yarn DK (100% superwash Merino; 225m/ 246yd per 100g)
RiverKnits Nene 4-ply/fingering (100% British Bluefaced Leicester; 80m/ 87yd per 20g)

Sample is made in colourways Weku Yarn Enjoli (MC), and RiverKnits Baa (CC1) and Jewel Orange (CC2).

MC: 450m/ 490yd
