Helix

We have long anticipated the day that Helix would arrive at MDK, and it’s a happy day to have it available for you.

This blend of two different wool fibers has really caught our attention. Falkland merino is white before it’s dyed. What happens when you blend in the light gray of Gotland wool? It allows for color of a special depth and richness. And the quiet luster of Gotland wool adds the most subtle effect to this yarn, along with a slight halo.

Mood Cardigan

Helix is glorious to see and to knit with, whether you’re working with it as a single strand or held double, as happens with Jeanette Sloan’s Mood Cardigan from Field Guide No. 15: Open. Four skeins required for sizes 1 through 4. Five skeins required for size 5.

Clerestory Shawl

Modern lace is Jeanette Sloan’s big idea for this Field Guide, and this shawl is a sleek combination of two lace patterns that she melds into one mighty glorious trapezoid of delicate sturdiness. Here, Helix is lofty and airy, the perfect match for a shawl that we will wear as a luxurious scarf. Requires two skeins.

Rib Lace Scarf

Get your feet wet with a simple little design. This skinny little scarf lets you try out the Rib Lace pattern and get the hang of knitting lace. Helix is a lovely yarn for this. One skein required.

Tumbling Blocks Scarf

We really love the idea of a scarf that has only 26 rows. You cast on a bunch of stitches, and the long rows let you really find your rhythm on this beautiful stitch pattern. One skein required.
