WestMorland: Marie Wallin

Westmorland is the second of two collections that, along with Cumbria, includes menswear designs.

This new collection features 10 Fairisle and stitch textured designs by Marie, using her BRITISH BREEDS yarn. The pattern designs in Westmorland are largely inspired by European ornamental design and Far East textile and carpet design, along with mixtures of more traditional motifs. The plain textured stitch designs are inspired by traditional twisted stitches and cables. This collection includes:

• 4 women's sweaters
• 3 men's sweaters
• 1 cowl
• 1 wrap
• 1 fingerless mitts design 

The Westmorland Collection is named after the historic county of North West England from the 12th century until 1974 when it became a part of Cumbria. Some of the new and exciting features of Cumbria, have continued in Westmorland. You'll find the six newest colors of British Breeds used in these designs, the inclusion of menswear, and an extended size range for the women's designs.

7 of the designs are in the round. Any of the flat knitted designs can be knitted in the round with the addition of steek stitches where the side and armhole seams would be.

 In an effort to be more environmentally friendly, this book is printed free of coating or treatment so the pages have a matte finish.
