Fairisle Club 8
Kilim Throw
sold out!
The Fairisle Club is a fun, limited edition knitalong which aims to improve your Fairisle knitting technique, whilst creating a beautiful Fairisle project. This is an exclusive club limited to the first 550 members!
The Kilim Throw is a beautiful design inspired by motifs found in antique Persian carpets and antique kilims and carpets from Anatolia (also called Asia Minor and is the peninsula of land that today constitutes the Asian portion of Turkey).
It is knitted in 9 sections, using 22 colours of British Breeds yarn and uses several different knitting techniques - knitting Fairisle flat, picking up stitches, increasing and decreasing stitches. The triangular sections in the Kilim Throw help make the design look like a real kilim carpet!
This design is knitted flat, working Fairisle on the right and the wrong side. Due to the complexity of the design, it cannot be knitted in the round with steeks as it would spoil the finished appearance and handle of the throw.
Fairisle Club 8 is a complete kit, comprising of all the required British Breeds yarn (51 balls in total), the full printed pattern booklet, a pattern folder and an exclusive Fairisle Club 8 canvas project bag.
Links to the digital Kilim Throw PDF pattern will be included in the Welcome email when the knitalong starts, along with a special 10% discount code to use any time on any kit or book purchase from the shop.
The club will be supported by instructional videos covering in detail each of the 9 sections that make up the Kilim Throw; these will be released by email updates. As each section and the corresponding videos are released in intervals, you will be able to knitalong with Marie at your own pace referring to the videos when you wish. Only Fairisle Club 8 members will have access to these videos.
Members will be invited to the Fairisle Club 8 Ravelry feed in Marie’s Ravelry group. In this feed you will be able to chat with other members and receive help. On the release of each section, Marie will be available for a Q & A Knit Video Chat; the date and time for each will be released with the relevant email update.
By joining Fairisle Club 8, you will be a member of the Fairisle Club and therefore able to buy the digital patterns of any of the previous projects.
