I just found a few more skeins of this delicious yarn and so we can offer a few (though just a few) more kits!

*****

I fell in love with these striking beaded wrist warmers that can be found as a free pattern on Ravelry here. 

So I contacted the designer (Anne Brovold) for  permission to share her photo here and offer kits to make these truly lovely pieces. 

Yarn and Colorways

As all that is needed is a fingering weight yarn plus size 8/0 beads in varying colors -- we thought this would be a marvelous small project to keep interest perhaps in between larger ones.  

Anne knit with a 100% alpaca with 191 yards/ 50g -- our yarn is different.  You can see what we have in the inset photo on the top picture and again below that.

Anne writes, "The gauge is not that important. More important is that 112 rows garter stitch should fit your wrist. Make a garter stitch swatch and measure."

We put together kits using Dream in Colors' Lamb & Goat, 90% wool + 10% cashmere (it feels great!) wiith 190 yards/ 50g skein.

You can choose between two colorways, both almost-solids: 

1. Sea is a tonal blend of varyng ocean blues, teals with a lovely depth.

2. Plum is just what it sounds like; think of wine and boysenberry in a rich tonal blend..  

Beads

This wrist warmer design has you pre-thread the beads onto the yarn.  Anne used a thin  sewing needle; we will include a dental floss threader with your kit to make it even easier.  

The beads can be one color or two. As I think it looks far better with two colors (as you see in this photo), that is how we are putting together this kit.  

To make the design with two colors as shown in this photo here, you must thread them onto the yarn in the reverse order that is given in the chart that comes with the pattern. 

The original ones used in the deep blue background yarn were 432 dark golden beads and 188 green ones.  

We will give you 8/0 beads in colors selected to look good with (and stand out on) the yarn you choose.

Take a look at what others have knit on the Project Page here.  If you have a preference for bead colors, tell me.  Otherwise I will choose for you. 

And, as we always try to, we will give you extra beads of both colors, just in case you'd like to make your imagination fly too!
