Winter 2015
Harrisville Designs Winter 2014 This winter, Harrisville Designs presents a collection six patterns featuring our new yarn flyWHEEL. After falling in love with our WATERshed line, we have developed a lighter, sport weight version for versatility. flyWHEEL was engineered to have the same breathable resilience as WATERshed, but creates a finer fabric with a more relaxed feel and hand. This medium-spun yarn is light, sturdy, and extremely wearable. It is delicate for creating intricate lace scarves yet durable enough for a favorite cozy sweater. This collection includes both garments and acessories to highlight the versatility of flyWHEEL. The yarn colors were inspired by the beautiful elements situated along the waterway running right through our village. flyWHEEL was created to also help support Harrisville’s hydropower project that is currently underway. A portion of the proceeds for each skein sold will go towards restoring the hydropower installation, so that we can produce clean energy from that very same waterway. The water that flows through our mill is reason Harrisville was established.
