Striping Patterns

Three Seasons Summer Socks

Classic Stripe: Dyed as traditional self-striping socks. Many of our colourways are dyed to produce two matching half-skeins; sometimes matching socks can be knit from either end of the wound cake, other times the stripes for the second sock begin halfway into the skein. 

Fingering weight skeins available in 115 g and 170 g skeins. 115 g is enough for a pair of medium socks, mittens, a hat, or a cowl. 170 g is enough for a pair of large socks, knee-socks, or a scarf.

Three Seasons autumn shawl

Shawl Stripe: Dyed specifically for triangular shawls. Since the final rows take much more yarn than the initial ones, there is a “top” and “bottom” to the yarn. The "top" typical begins with shorter sections of colour; search for the colourway name on our website to see images of a knitted sample. If knitting a triangular shawl that is worked from the bottom up, simply start with the “bottom” of the yarn for the long cast-on edge.

We have a free shawl pattern available here that gives more tips on working with this yarn.

Fingering weight skeins available in 115 g and 170 g skeins. 115 g is just enough for a shawlette, while 170 g will make a more generous shawl.
