Designed by Heather Firby exclusively for Spin A Yarn.

“A summer stroll along the paths and firebreaks of Trendlebere Down near Bovey Tracey will often be rewarded with sightings of grayling butterflies, tree pipits and dartford warblers – their scratchy call from a gorse bush often being the first thing to give them away.”

Regular visitors to the shop might recognise Heather, who used to work with us at Spin A Yarn. She also happens to be a talented designer and graduate in Textile Design from the Chelsea College of Art.

Heather has designed a pattern exclusively for Spin A Yarn, using Rowan Felted Tweed – one of our favourite yarns. Trendlebere is a relaxed raglan jumper, which can be knitted in any DK yarn – it can be knitted in one colour or with contrasting ribbing, and has a swing-fit and some drape on the back for a contemporary look. The pattern is knitted flat and seamed.
