Feature Pattern of the Week - Layers to Live In
- Posted on
Ceim Sweater by The Fibre Co. Design Team,
The Fibre Co. Arranmore Light, colors Ailis, Glasney, Evlin, Sheelin, Meara
Perfect for layering or wearing alone, the Ceim Sweater by the U.K. based Fibre Co. Design Team, is a gorgeous colorblock pullover with a modern marled look.
Knit in The Fibre Co. Arranmore Light, the sweater has a tailored fit & a seamless, top-down, in the round construction. The cool marled effect is achieved by holding two strands of the DK weight yarn together. The pattern is well written with clear knitting instructions.
The signature blend of Merino wool, Cashmere, and silk makes Arranmore Light pretty much perfect in every way. The yarn is spun in an Irish mill that traces its roots to the homespun tweed industry of 19th century County Donegal! The soft, tweedy blend is absolutely ideal for heritage garments & cable work.

If you love the colors, but prefer a shawl, then the Moon Phases Shawl by Adella Dutra is a wonderful knit. The full crescent shaped shawl is worked in simple stockinette stitch, beginning with just few stitches in the heart of the shawl and growing outward, increasing in size and depth of shade.
The shawl requires 1 skein each of The Fibre Co. Arranmore Light in colors Ailis, Glasney, Evlin, Sheelin & Meara, as well as a size US 6, 40” circular needle.
Happy Knitting!
