WanderKnit - Patagonia (1st Quarter 2023)

What is WanderKnit™?

WanderKnit™ is a destination-themed knitting package, inspired by locations around the globe. Knitters will have a chance to learn a bit about each destination, while being treated to location-inspired patterns and surprises along the way. There will be new destinations each quarter, watch for where we'll travel next! Each destination will have a representative button whic hcan be sewn onto your WanderKnit tote, much like a pin in a map!

Where are you traveling?

After trips to Holland, Bhutan, and Morocco, our bags are packed for our next destination, the highland South American region of Patagonia. It is the southernmost inhabited region in the world, home to rugged mountain peaks, massive glaciers, and plentiful wildlife including penguins and hardy highland sheep.

Tell me about the WanderKnit™ Patagonia designs!

Patagonia is a region known for its rugged natural beauty and abundant wildlife. The two hats and the bandana cowl are shown in colors that reflect the land and seascapes of the area. Each piece, made with HiKoo® Highland Lux, will keep you toasty and warm on your next outdoor adventure! A touch of Kid Mohair gives just the right amount of soft halo to this worsted weight yarn. In slightly heathered colors, Highland Lux is suitable at a variety of gauges and beautiful in one color while stunning in colorwork combinations.
