Spincycle Yarns – Ghost Ranch Hat Kit in collaboration with Drea Renee Knits
The Ghost Ranch Hat is the new collaboration between Spincycle Yarns and Drea Renee Knits, specially released during Edinburgh Yarn Festival 2019.
This yarn bundle is made up of a total of 2 skeins – 1 skein in ‘Dyed in the Wool’ and 1 skein in ‘Versus’.
Each order will come with a paper pattern for the hat whilst stocks last. You can also find the pattern online on Ravelry.
The Spincycle team created a brand new colourway of their classic ‘Dyed in the Wool‘ named after the hat, Ghost Ranch, for this legendary collaboration. As with all their yarns, they are created using artisan hand-dying techniques, which means every skein has a unique blend of the saturation of colour.
This variation of dye-lot means every knitted creation using these skeins will be just that little bit more individual – just like you! Please allow for some colour variation to the photographs.
We now also stock individual skeins of Versus.
‘Ghost Ranch is the 4th pattern of my “shifting” series! A really fun way to explore color and texture using the Mosaic knitting method! This hat begins with a two color brioche rib that is then rolled up and transitioned into the textural Mosaic pattern! The Ghost Ranch colorway of Dyed in the Wool was created especially for this project and inspired by my time in the New Mexico desert!’ – Andrea Mowry
Important: This bundle features the original colourways for the Ghost Ranch pictured in Andrea’s sample. However, due to the artisan nature of these yarns and colour saturation variation of each dye lot, we cannot guarantee that your finished knit will exactly match the designer’s sample. Please allow for colour variation, and enjoy your unique knit! Contact us for any further colourway specifications or special requests.
