Guest blog post – new garment patterns at Blacker Yarns

Blacker Yarns Empire-line dressSue Blacker at Blacker Yarns has been busy collaborating on and commissioning new knitwear to take advantage of their freshly launched Blacker Swan yarn.

We have several new knitting patterns almost ready to launch, including a lovely fitted waistcoat with
a quilted design, another slimmer one with long front tails and a great  over-size pullover with a row of sheep along the bottom. We are just about to photograph these, and then we shall release
 them for everyone to see!
