We now offer handy kits of this pattern. All kits include enough yarn to make the jumper, a limited edition button badge and a fab project bag to keep it all safe. Happy knitting! We do not stock the pattern ourselves, but you can buy it from Marina on her website, here.
We are thrilled to be able to offer Beechmast kits, as this pattern is extra special to us…
Marina has an impeccable eye for colour, so we were excited to work with her on a limited edition shade of Appledore Aran – ‘Fallen Leaf’. Marina’s inspiration was a perfect tiny leaf that followed her into the mill on the winter’s day when she visited us. That little leaf and her love of Beech trees combined perfectly to create her corresponding pattern, ‘Beechmast’ in honour of these stunning and colourful trees, and her joyful Appledore Aran Shade.
We do not stock the pattern ourselves, but you can find it on Marina’s website, here.
**Please note that due to low stock the bespoke shade Fallen Leaf is shown as out of stock but can be purchased here.**
