Easy V Bundles – Boyland Knitworks, Spincycle & Ritual Dyes

Easy V Bundles by Boyland Knitworks with Spincycle Yarns & Ritual Dyes

Easy V by Caitlin Hunter of Boyland Knitworks is a sweater with a clue in the name – it features a relaxed easy-fit V neck, perfect to throw on for everyday wear. It pairs one of our favourite yarn combos: Ritual Dyes’ Elder for the base with Spincycle Yarns’ Dream State for the colourwork.

We have loved this combination ever since we tried first tried them together in Caitlin’s previous hit pattern Koivua, and are now the proud sole UK stockist for Ritual Dyes to bring you the lush main base for these wonderful patterns!

Our studio sample is pictured in size 3; we chose a fresh white base with a more subtle yoke gradient. Our CC choice was rich purple Nostalgia in the centre combined with both pale & saturated Calluna skeins for a pink blend. Calluna is our custom LYS colourway, and we couldn’t think of a better way to show it off in Dream State! Read more about our sample here.
