The Koigu Collector’s Club continues! Each month, we receive 21 skeins of KPPPM in a limited edition color dyed especially for a select group of local yarn stores that carry Koigu. KPPPM is a fingering weight superwash merino, hand-dyed in vibrant colors by mother/daughter team Maie and Taiu Landra on their farm outside of Toronto, Canada.
- fingering weight
- hand dyed, variegated
- 100% superwash merino wool
- 175 yards/50 grams
Folk Festival and Dolled Up are the two most recent Collector’s Club shades, both variegated and bright. They made me think of Ewe Ewe Fluffy Fingering right away, a springy superwash merino that favors Koigu KPPPM in structure, but comes in clear solid colors.
What to knit with these playful pairs? Here are a few ideas!
- “Broken Seed Stitch Socks,” by Hanna Leväniemi – textured striped socks
- “Pressed Flowers Socks,” by Amy Christoffers – floral slip-stitch socks
- “Harlow,” by Andrea Mowry – brioche hat
- “Kallara,” by Ambah O’Brien – asymmetric striped shawl
- “ZickZack Scarf,” by Christy Kamm – chevron scarf
- “Friday Sweater Baby,” by PetiteKnit – broken rib striped pullover for babies 0-12 months
Fuzzy lace weight yarn is another irresistible pairing for variegated wool – some of our newest shades of Fyberspates Cumulus matched these Koigu colorways perfectly. Here are a few patterns to try:
- “Sophie Scarf,” by PetiteKnit – garter stitch scarf with I-cord edge
- “Oslo Hat – mohair edition,” by PetiteKnit – stockinette hat
- “Anker’s Hat,” by PetiteKnit – segmented ribbed hat
- “Cloves Entwined Toque,” by Tif Neilan – slouchy hat with lateral braids
- “Lento,” by Jonna Hietala – stockinette raglan pullover
