Part 1 of a 3 part knit kit series exploring the heritage of Japanese stitch work

For centuries Japan has been a leader of innovation in the knitting world. We created this series to introduce our audience to some of Japan's amazing stitch work and pay homage to the influence their culture has had on knitting.

The first in this series of 3 blankets is the Shōga, a semi-chunky lace pattern inspired by the ginger (Shōga) plant.

The Shōga pattern is made easy with every alternate row being just knit/purl, making for a very therapeutic knit.

We have chosen Grumpy Merino for this series which is a stunning, rich, ‘buttery’ merino grown in the Grampians of Culverden Christchurch. It is an absolute joy to knit with outstanding stitch definition.

Quantities of the Japanese series are limited. Make sure to keep an eye for part 2 coming soon.
