Fleece Artist Garter Stitch Jacket Kits at Village Yarns


A perennial favourite is now back in stock at Village Yarns. Kathryn and her team at Fleece Artist have given the Garter Stitch Jacket a new twist for Fall 2007 by introducing Curly Locks and Mo as the yarn components. Knit singly in alternating rows, these textures of a mohair boucle and a brushed mohair blend to create a lovely, cozy jacket sure to be a favourite in your wardrobe.


The Garter Stitch Jacket appeals to knitters of all skill levels as the fit and subtle waist shaping flatter many figures. Worked on 6mm needles in garter stitch, subtle waist shaping is achieved by reducing needle sizes and sleeves are completed top down for accurate length. The Garter Stitch Jacket makes a great first project for new knitters wanting to move beyond accessories.


The Garter Stitch Jacket Kit is available in Fleece Artist semi-solid shades of Gold, Ruby Red and Turquoise:



Also in stock are Fleece Artist Variegated Colourways including; Seashore, Peacock, Stone, Cosmic Dawn, Sorbetto and Rain Forest.
