All summer long you’ll hear Vermont farmers talking about hay. The curving parallel lines of drying grass follow the contours of the fields creating a textured landscape that speaks of summer’s long days and soft evenings.
This relaxed cardigan features a slipped stitch seeded rib along the collar, cuffs and hem that resembles the soft windrows of hay found in Vermont fields in late July and August. The open fronted sweater can be knit up with any of our DK weight yarns for a utilitarian wardrobe staple that can be flexibly styled to work for any outfit or occasion.
Shown here in Mean Mr. Mustard Mewesic with about 8″ or positive ease on Meghan.

This quick and fun cowl is the perfect choice to pop on when you get a last minute call to meet the girls for coffee. The lace pattern creates swirls reminiscent of latte art, so we named this cowl after a local coffee shop in Bellows Falls that hosts a weekly knitting social we hate to miss.

When summer temperatures cause the mercury to rise, we gravitate towards smaller accessories, both to make and to wear. This crescent shawl is the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe for that touch of comfort to ward off overzealous air-conditioning chill. The garter stitch rows and short-row sections of contrasting stockinette grow in size, resulting in a generous overall length that won’t leave you feeling engulfed. Shown above in two contrasting hand painted skeins of Simply Fine.

The Sussex Cowl was designed as the Spinnery’s contribution to the 2017 I-91 Shop Hop pattern collection.
This lacey infinity cowl was inspired by the timeless fashions seen on period dramas shown on the BBC (Maureen’s favorite television programs). This delicate accessory is refined enough for an afternoon tea and yet perfectly practical for a morning in the garden. It’s generous circumference means that it can be wrapped into the perfect size for any occasion.
The Sussex Lace infinity cowl is worked side to side with a repeating lace pattern that is charted and written out, so you can follow along as you prefer. It can be created with a single skein of our fingering weight yarns. Shown above in Dungarees, Sock Art Lana.
