Long-slip textured patternEntry/Object ID
2020.1.172.aDescription
From the book: "Because of the slip-stitches extended over three rows, this fabric has considerable tendency to shorten and curl, so that many rows are required for a given length. But it is a cosy fabric, with a deep, soft, honeycomb-like texture, good for warm winter clothing."Collection

Nora is a self-taught knitter who has been knitting for around 40 years. She really loves wool -- especially the Jamiesons of Shetland Heather used for this swatch -- which came to be part of her stash through a special route. She owns two of Barbara Walker's books and loves what they represent.Lexicon
