Every Month Everlea Colour Club subscribers get a gradient of colourways of Everlea Fingering yarn on either bobbins (EverBOBBIN) or skeins (EverFIVE and EverTHREE). Everlea Fingering is a soft merino yarn sourced from New Zealand, spun in Canada and then dyed with natural dyes by me (Janna) here in Madeira Park British Columbia. Although I love it for weft faced weaving which is what EverBOBBIN subscribers tend to use them for, it is actually designed as a knitting yarn and is perfect for those projects which you wish to have a lightweight feel. Its 2-ply structure opens up yarn-overs in your lace projects beautifully and it can easily be knit it in a double strand to arrive at a DK or worsted weight gauge.
For many months I've been keeping my eyes peeled for knitting patterns to pair with EverFIVE and EverTHREE yarns which feature a gradient of three or five naturally dyed 25g skeins of Everlea Fingering yarn. Some of the larger projects I chose would include multiple months worth of yarn and others like, the Iris pullover by Trin-Annelie (below), would also feature additional skeins of natural white for the main colour for the background.
Find all these projects in my Ravelry collection of favourites. Anything in a worsted or DK weight could be substituted with a double strand of Everlea Fingering to make gauge.
