Dilution

Introducing our beautiful gloves, a stunning result of a collaboration with Angélique from Lili Yarns. These gloves feature two unique skeins dyed from two exhaust baths of the same gorgeous colour. Inspired by this vibrant color process, I wanted to create an elegant, simple colourwork pattern that seamlessly transitions from one hue to another, creating a stunning effect that resembles one color gently diluting into the other.

Both gloves are crafted identically to ensure a perfect match, making them a wonderful addition to any winter wardrobe. The ribbed wrist section is not only functional but also adds a cozy, folded finish that keeps your wrists warm. When you begin the colourwork section, it is highly recommended to switch to a larger needle size, especially if you have a tendency to knit colourwork tighter than usual, as many knitters do. This adjustment is crucial; knitting too tightly during this phase can lead to gloves that are less comfortable and visually appealing. Ensure that your finished product not only looks beautiful but feels great as well.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or a beginner looking to challenge yourself, this pattern offers a delightful opportunity to explore colourwork techniques while enjoying the unique yarn from Lili Yarns.
