Sage Throw

The SAGE THROW was the design that started off the idea for the very popular FAIRISLE CLUB first launched in 2014. Marie was commissioned to design and knit a throw based on the lovely SAGE TUNIC from Marie’s first book WINDSWEPT by the Campaign for Wool as a part of Wool Week 2014. The resulting throw was exhibited at Campaign for Wool exhibition at Southwark Cathedral, London in Oct 2014.

The throw is knitted flat and uses 30 balls of Rowan Felted Tweed, the colours are listed below. Two of the original colours have sadly been discontinued so Marie has list an alternative to use:

Clay 177 x 5 balls, Phantom 153 x 4 balls, Hedgerow 187 x 2 balls - (use Lotus Leaf 205 as substitute for Hedgerow), Gilt 160 x 3 balls - (use Cumin 193 as a substitute for Gilt), Maritime 167 x 2 balls, Ginger 154 x 1 ball, Cinnamon 175 x 2 balls, Bilberry 151 x 2 balls, Peony 183 x 2 balls, Avocado 161 x 1 ball, Watery 152 x 2, balls Tawny 186 x 2 ball, Camel 157 x 2 balls.
