about the collection I am so happy to introduce my collection of designs inspired by woolfolk yarns. I first met Kristin Ford, founder of woolfolk, when I was a fledgling designer. She took to my work immediately and we have been collaborating ever since. Kristin has an extraordinary design sense as well as business acumen, and when I heard that she was founding her own company, I knew that her yarns would be spectacular. As soon as I felt them, I knew I wanted to design a whole collection.
Woolfolk is aptly named after Kristin’s maternal grandmother. The company is dedicated to responsibly sourcing the finest fleece from around the world to create luxurious handknitting yarns. The first two, TYND and FÅR, are remarkable for both their heritage and exquisite hand. The fibers in TYND and FÅR originate in Patagonia, products of the Ovis 21 biodiversity and regeneration project. The merino sheep are responsibly bred using environmentally sustainable processes, and their wool is the highest quality merino available anywhere in the world. TYND and FÅR are the only handknitting yarns made from this certified Ultimate Merino® wool. The VERSACIKNITS woolfolk collection showcases these extraordinary fibers. I created a collection that both celebrates the feel of these wonderful yarns and takes advantage of their sophisticated color palette...a collection of soft and wearable garments with simple, clean lines, crisp textures, and modern design. This collection offers designs for knitters at every skill level, from easy-to-knit unisex accessories to cardigans and pullovers with complex construction. I loved creating these designs, so I hope that you find as much enjoyment knitting them! Lori
