    About Winter Woods - The Pattern

    Designer: Jessica McDonald

    Winter Woods is seamlessly knit from the top down in the round. The colorwork begins with gentle swags of pine boughs and moves to a gentle smattering of little snowflakes (or kitty pawprints depending on how you look at them!).

    A large, impactful snowflake is the star of the yoke. After the large snowflakes, little flecks of snow drift down onto the body and sleeves.

    Short rows are used to shape the back neck just below the neckline. Winter Woods is knit in an unspun yarn held double, which creates a lofty, woolly sweater. You can substitute a worsted weight yarn if you do not want to use unspun yarn. A woolen spun yarn will be the most similar to unspun.

    About Wooldreamer's Manchelopis - The Yarn

    The unspun yarn of our dreams! 100% Manchego wool from two flocks in Spain, lovingly processed - also in Spain! - into delicate strands of incredibly soft unspun yarn. As warm as a hug, as light as a cloud!

    NOTIONS
    • Darning needle
    • Scrap yarn
    • Stitch marker

    • Non-superwash
    • 100% Manchega wool from Spain
    • Held double: DK weight, 230 meters per 100 grams / 251 yards per 3.5 ounces

    SUSTAINABILITY CHECK
    • Entirely sourced, spun and dyed in Castilla-La Mancha in Spain
    • The white Manchega wool is sourced from Raúl's "Las Banderas" flock in La Serranía de Cuenca. Raúl practices transhumance with his sheep, meaning he moves his flock from one grazing ground to another in seasonal cycles.
    • The black Manchega wool is sourced from José's "Jesús Giménez Diezma" flock in Los Montes de Toledo where they graze freely.
    • Spun at the Wooldreamers mill - a 4th generation family-run mill - in Castilla-La Mancha in Spain
    • Developed to minimize the ecological footprint - the flocks and mill are located in the same town - and use wool that otherwise would go to waste
    • Fiber & yarn origin: Spain

    Questions about our Kits?

    Check out our Kit FAQs:

    Yes! All our kits include a little bit more yarn than the pattern calls for so that you can comfortably knit up your swatches.

    Yes! All the yarn you'll receive will be from the same dyelot.

    Yes and yes! You can purchase any extra skeins (say, if you want to lengthen the sweater or sleeves) at the same time as purchasing your kit. Simply head over to the individual yarn listing of the yarn included in the kit and add the skeins you'd like to purchase extra to the cart. Shipping will be combined, and we'll always match the dyelots.

    You'll need knitting needles of the size(s) that will get you the gauge stated in the pattern. You'll also need the items listed under "Notions" in the "Pattern Details" section. Please note that our knitting kits - unless otherwise stated - do not include the pattern.

    We're here to help you with any questions that you might have on the pattern! You can always send us an email to hello@making-stories.com and we'll help you out.

    We also have tons of articles on our blog that focus on helping you get the best results for you in your knitting as well as our resource page where we have links to videos and tutorials for every technique used in our patterns.

    All our yarns are non-superwash, so any project is best washed by hand in lukewarm (not hot!) water, using a little bit of wool wash or gentle soap. Take care not to wring the fabric, but gently squish any excess water out of it, wrap it in a towel, roll it up, and do a little "dance on the towel" to press any remaining water out of the sweater. Then, lay it flat to dry.

    We also have a few articles on the blog with our favorite tips how to care for your knits!
