Product Description
This kit includes 3 skeins each of Cadence yarn in the colors Nekkid, March, and Argon.
Designers notes:
This piece is in honor of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment - a women’s right to vote.
Although at the time the right to vote was not extended to all women, my hope is that we can reach a point of true equality in the future and pass the Equal Rights Amendment in all 50 states.
I chose to design and knit in the colors worn by the Suffragettes: green, white, and purple. These colors were worn by the marching women over white dresses often in the form of a sash to symbolize hope, purity, and loyalty. White in politics continues on today, often worn by women as a nod to our struggle for having our voices heard. The yarn I worked with was hand dyed by a woman-owned company in the United States.
As a modern woman, I cannot imagine not being able to do anything without the permission of a man. Join me in picking up our knitting needles and yarn, and be sure to cast your vote during this meaningful election year, as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the passing of the 19th Amendment. I am proud to be a woman.
Blanket uses 3 hanks of each color and can easily be sized up or down with heavier or lighter weight yarn and needles. Worked in the round with charts in both full color and black and white, the blanket is then steeked, and a border is picked up and knit along the edges with smaller needles. The steeked area is reinforced on the back with grosgrain ribbon, and an optional fabric backing can be added.
Cadence is a worsted weight yarn with three plump, round plies of merino wool. The perfect ratio of loft, twist and bounce will make Cadence your next go-to for sweaters, accessories,
blankets and anything else you can dream up.
