SUMMER BLOOMS
Wool/Plant Blends for Warm Weather
BY L AUR A HULSL ANDER 1
Blends of wool and plant ibers make the perfect summer yarn: linen and cotton
are ideal for warm weather, and wool adds stretch and bounce to your garments. 2
Here are six of our favorite summer wool/plant blends.

SCHOPPEL-WOLLE BIO MERINOS DIST. BY: SKACEL PRICE $9.95

Content: 95% virgin wool, 5% linen | Color: #0500 Bernstein

1 3.5 mm) | Care: Handwash | Stitch Pattern: Lace Chart (Arizona Tee, page 90)
Made from organic Patagonian wool and French linen, Bio Merinos has a tonal look thanks
to the depth of color the darker linen adds. This single-ply yarn is felted to improve durability
and prevent pilling. Use it for structured cardigans and cabled pullovers.
3
PLYMOUTH YARNS EQUINOX HAND DYE PRICE $11.95
Content: 65% extrafine merino, 20% linen, 15% mulberry silk | Color: #103 lime sunset

2 Care: Handwash | Stitch Pattern: Chart A (Mojave Top, page 81)

Equinox is a luxurious blend of merino, linen, and silk; the silk adds a subtle shimmer to your
project, and the linen adds a beautiful drape. The bright hand-dyed colors are reminiscent of
wildflowers. Textured shawls and accessories would best show off this shiny yarn.

GREEN MOUNTAIN SPINNERY COTTON COMFORT PRICE $15

3 mm) Care: Handwash | Stitch Pattern: Lace Chart (Moab Stole, page 88)
Cotton Comfort is a soft yarn with a crunchy hand. It combines the dry texture of cotton with
the ease of knitting with wool. Use this yarn for loose tanks and cool, breezy wraps.

NATURAL FIBER PRODUCERS SPORT WEIGHT ULTRA FINE

PRICE $26
COTTON/ALPACA/WOOL BLEND
Content: 50% Virginia cotton, 25% alpaca, 25% wool | Color: Nevada sagebrush-natural

4 Care: Handwash | Stitch Pattern: Lace Ribbon Chart (Winona Poncho, page 89)
This soft blend combines the best attributes of three different fibers: cotton makes a cool
garment, alpaca lends a velvety softness, and wool adds elasticity. Try this yarn for a fitted 5
tank or summer beanie.

YARN CARNIVAL VARDO PRICE $40

Content: 50% alpaca, 25% silk, 25% linen | Color: ondine | Put Up: 438 yd (401 m)/

With gorgeous drape and silky softness, Vardo is a luxurious blend for all your summertime
accessories. The saturated hand-dyed colors add a pop of drama to any outfit. This yarn would
make stunning shawls and airy lace tops.

HOW NAVAJO WEAVERS HELPED BUILD A GREAT AMERICAN YARN COMPANY
BY LESLIE PETROVSKI

Peggy Jo Wells opens the door to the home she shares with her husband, Robert. The wan autumn
light streams into their living room, which looks out onto the broad bluffs that punctuate western Ne-
braska’s landscape. On the far wall hang two Navajo rugs in shades of blue and brown woven from yarn

to borrow money. My father was not a gambler, he was just a sheep

man. But he gambled everything.”
Harlan knew he wanted to do something with wool. His early foray
into spinning with the Ashford wheel and his investigation into building
a wool-scouring plant convinced him that instead of washing wool in
water-poor Nebraska, he should spin it. After much research, he pur-
chased some used equipment from textile factories in the South. When
these industrial behemoths arrived in January 1980, they came with
no instructions. But through grit and perseverance, by July 4 of that
year, Harlan had his first ball of yarn. He called it Top of the Lamb.
Filling the trunk of his car with yarn, Harlan took off that summer
on a tour of Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming yarn shops to sell his
wares. Rejected by many—in fact, one yarn shop owner in Casper,
Wyoming, even accused him of stealing the yarn (“Nobody can make
this kind of yarn in western Nebraska,” she told him)—he finally sold
the lot to a local yarn shop in Lincoln.
On his next trip, he headed south to the Navajo Nation in Arizona,
asked for permission to park in a parking lot, and opened his trunk.
“One by one, weavers started coming out,” Peggy Jo says. “They would
peel off $100 bills, and finally the trunk was empty. So, Dad came
home, filled a truck with yarn, and went back.”
Finding a market among Navajo weavers was crucial to the success
of Brown Sheep Company in the early days of the business, and the
importance of that market continues today. Peggy Jo estimates that for
many years, Navajo sales accounted for 60 to 70 percent of Brown Sheep’s
total business. Today, that number is about 30 percent and holds steady
year to year.
Navajo weavers purchase yarns in spring, for the tourist season,
rather than in the fall, when yarn stores are stocking. “That’s good
timing for us,” Peggy Jo says.
Much of the yarn purchased by Navajo artisans is the company’s
original Top of the Lamb, a 100% wool single-ply offered in sport and
worsted weights in almost the same twenty-four colors—reflective of
the Southwestern landscape—that Peggy Jo’s mother, Janet, helped
develop when the company began serving customers on the reservation.
Navajo weavers also buy Lamb’s Pride, Brown Sheep’s 85% wool,
15% mohair blend, for its broad palette of 98 colors as well as its
highly twisted warp, which Arizona-based R.B. Burnham and Co.
trading post calls the “go-to warp for most Navajo weavers.”
Michael Schumann, manager at Griswold’s, a long-standing trading
post in Tse Bonito, New Mexico, says the store has been selling Brown
Sheep yarn since before he started working there in 1989. He estimates
that they sell about 1,000 skeins every two weeks and that 98 percent
of the rugs Griswold’s carries are woven from Brown Sheep yarn.
“It changed the way weavers make their rugs,” he explained. “It’s
so much more convenient for them. Before, they were handspinning
their own yarn and dyeing it. Brown Sheep is more uniform and gives
them more color options.”
Linda Uentillie, purchasing agent for Navajo Arts and Crafts Enter-
prise, which was founded by the Navajo Council in 1941, buys raw
materials such as silver sheets, turquoise, and yarn for Navajo Arts and
Crafts’ stores. Linda grew up on the Navajo reservation and remembers
her mother weaving from yarn she spun and dyed herself. Now, many
Navajo weavers depend on the Brown Sheep yarns they can purchase
nearby. And though the older weavers may not have a computer or know
how to use the Internet, many younger people go to the Navajo Arts and
Crafts Enterprise website if needed to get the yarn.

Not long after Harlan began doing business in and around the Navajo
Nation, Peggy Jo accompanied her dad on one of his trips. The year
before she and Robert came into the business, Harlan took her to the
Taos Wool Festival and then down to the reservation, where he intro-
duced her to the people running the various trading posts.
Peggy Jo’s father felt a kinship with the Navajo people he worked
with. “I think he was drawn to the kind of people they were,” she
explained. “They were honest, and they made a good product, which
represented what he wanted to do. To make a good handcrafted product
based on generations of experience and knowledge matched very well
with the background he had. He was an old farmer. You don’t learn
how to farm just from books, you learn from your father and grandfa-
ther. It matched his whole concept of life.”
Harlan Brown died in 2014, at the age of eighty-nine. Peggy Jo
doesn’t quite remember which year brought her back to the Taos Wool
Festival, this time with her sister, but when the recipient of the best
weaving award spoke about her design at the annual awards banquet,
she mentioned her Navy service, her inspiration, and Brown Sheep
yarns. “She had no clue I was there,” Peggy Jo says. “But at the end
of her speech, she said, ‘I want to give a huge thank you to the family
that has made the yarn the Navajo have used. They are a family-owned

you for using our product.’
“I wish Dad had been there to hear that.”

CADENCIA PONCHO EMILY WOOD
The American Southwest averages three hundred days of sun-
shine every year, and the Cadencia Poncho harnesses the
warmth and radiance of that Southwestern sun. The mingling ver-
tical, horizontal, and diagonal lines catch the eye, and the drop
stitches create a swingy, fun fabric. This poncho is worked from
side to side and inished with an I-cord edging and fringe.

Whether it’s January or July, when the sun sets in the desert of the
American Southwest, the temperature plummets. Pull on the Desert
Nights Cardigan to keep warm when the mercury drops. The
yoke, hem, and cuffs of this cardigan feature a hand-dyed yarn
worked in motifs that look like stranded colorwork but are actually
a mosaic stitch pattern, so you get all the results of colorwork with
none of the extra effort.

 BENT’S FORT CARDIGAN SUE GLEAVE
Established in 1833 in southeastern Colorado, Bent’s Old Fort was
built to facilitate the buffalo-robe trade between white settlers
and the southern Cheyenne and Arapaho Plains Indians. The
Bent’s Fort Cardigan is both a blanket and cardigan, worked
in a deceptively simple mosaic stitch pattern that emulates the
Southwestern aesthetic and the architecture of the original fort.

INDIGO TRADER CARDIGAN VANESSA EWING
In the 1600s, Spanish settlers brought indigo plants to the open
territories of the Southwest and indigenous weavers quickly incor-
porated this non-native hue into their weavings, which until then
had consisted of earth tones. The Indigo Trader Cardigan’s
bold, graphic intarsia motif, earth tones, and indigo hues are
inspired by both the colors and weaving of the Southwest. This
cardigan is worked flat from the top down, and the high-low hem
is created with short-row shaping.

Salida, Colorado, is a secluded gem of Southwestern culture. The

A KNITTER’S GUIDE TO: JOGLESS CAST-ON & BIND-OFF EDGES

JOGLESS CAST-ON
& BIND-OFF EDGES
in the Round BY ROX ANNE RICHARDSON

When projects are knitted in the round, it can be challenging to inish the cast-on and bind-off edges
so that the jog, or gap, between the irst and last stitches is minimized. Figures 1 and 10 illustrate how
big that challenge can be.
Every cast-on method produces a distinctive edge, as does every cast-on edge. Next, the join sets up the continuity of the edge between

The best finish comes from a great start; therefore, every cast-on stitch held against your palm, as shown in Figure 2. Twist the needle around

FIGURE 7
When the long-tail cast-on is complete, every stitch on the needle
has a twisted loop sitting below it, under the needle, except for the
first cast-on stitch, which consists of a twisted loop on the needle
(Figure 5). Both legs of that first cast-on stitch pull to the left, with
one leg becoming the strand that forms stitches on the needle and the
other leg becoming the strand that forms the twisted loops of the edge.

cast-on process and set up the edge continuity. Every loop along the
cast-on edge has now been knitted, and every stitch has a purl bump
below it on the wrong side. Place a beginning-of-round marker on the
right needle. The first cast-on stitch has now become the last stitch of
the round.

Step 3: Use yarn tail to ensure a continuous look. FIGURE 9

When the piece is complete, use the yarn tail to create the appearance
of continuous connected twisted loops across the join.
Pull gently on the tail to eliminate any excess slack that may have
loosened the edge. Thread the tail onto a tapestry needle. Locate the two
legs of the first cast-on stitch, as shown in Figure 6. Insert the tapestry
needle behind those two stitch legs from left to right, making sure that
the yarn tail hangs below the needle (Figure 7). Note: You are not follow-
ing the path of the stitch head, but are capturing the legs themselves.
Doing so smoothes the edge and eliminates any remaining jog.
Pull the yarn through and adjust the tension to match the rest of
the edge (Figure 8). Weave in the tail by inserting the tapestry needle
up through the purl bump at the base of the first stitch of the round,
on the wrong side of the cast-on edge. Weave in the tail away from the
edge. The resulting join is indistinguishable from the rest of the cast-on
stitches (Figure 9).
Note: Finding those two legs of the original cast-on stitch can be FIGURE 10
tricky when it occurs at a transition between purls and knits, as it does
in ribbed fabric. Practicing on a stockinette edge—or on an edge
where the round ends with knit stitches and starts with purl stitches—
is helpful because the legs are easier to differentiate from the adjoin-
ing twisted-edge loop.

The cable cast-on three-step technique

The typical cable cast-on method starts by knitting into a slipknot,
which results in two cast-on stitches that are different from the rest of
the edge. The base of every stitch column except the first consists of
a pair of offset horizontal strands, as shown in Figure 10. To improve
the cable cast-on, you will need to eliminate those two stitches that
are different.

ing the needle between the two temporary cast-on stitches. This approach
ensures that all the permanent stitches of the cast-on are identical.

Step 2: Join in the round.

Cast on one stitch more than required and pass the last cast-on stitch
over the first permanent cast-on stitch. For example, to cast on 32 stitches,
you would first cast on the two temporary stitches and then cast on 33
stitches for a total of 35 stitches. Turn the work so that the working yarn
FIGURE 12 is hanging from the right needle and the two temporary cast-on stitches
are on the left needle. Slip the two temporary stitches off the left needle,
giving the tail a tug to release the stitches. Slip one stitch from the left
needle to the right needle and then pass the second stitch on the right
needle over the first stitch and off the needle. Return the stitch on the
right needle to the left needle. Passing the extra stitch over the first
stitch joins the work in the round; at the same time, it creates a horizon-
tal strand that imitates the upper strand of an offset pair.

Step 3: Use yarn tail to ensure a continuous look.

After the piece is complete, use the yarn tail to ensure the continuous
look of connected offset horizontal strand pairs across the join.
Thread the yarn tail onto a tapestry needle. Insert the tapestry needle
FIGURE 13 into the back of the stitch on the right side of the join, as shown in Figure
11 (imitating the second horizontal strand of an offset pair). Weave in
the tail away from edge. You can see the final result in Figure 12.

IMPROVING THE BIND-OFF EDGE IN TWO STEPS

You can create a continuous look between the last bind-off stitch and
the first bind-off stitch by creating a chain stitch that connects the two.

Step 1: Eliminate the final loop.

When the last stitch is bound off, one stitch remains on the right-hand
needle. Break the yarn, leaving a 4" (10 cm) tail. Enlarge the loop
until the tail has pulled out through the final chain of the edge.
FIGURE 14
Step 2: Create the final chain.
Thread the tail onto a tapestry needle. Insert the tapestry needle under
both legs of the first bind-off chain (Figure 13) and pull the yarn
through, then insert the tapestry needle through the center of the last
bind-off chain (Figure 14) and pull the yarn through. This re-creates
a chain stitch that joins the end of the round to the start of the round
(Figure 15). Adjust the tension to match the rest of the bind-off chains.

Getting the best finished result in a project doesn’t just depend on

what you do after the knitting is completed. The decisions you make
before you cast on, and the techniques you use while you’re knitting,
FIGURE 15 have as great an impact on the final results.

SANDHYA SHADANGI started knitting in

December 2011 and has been addicted to
the craft ever since. She has a weakness
for geometric stitch patterns and interest-

reads, dabbles in web development, and
plays with ink and brush.
