Nickel Farthing is a long variegated yarn that loves garter stitch, seed stitch, and other textured stitches, or working side by side with similar colours to create a fade or stripes. The colours are deep violet, a strong turquoise, and a dark teal which grounds the other 2. The colours shift softly from one to the next, giving a quiet colour change effect that we absolutely love. Want to pair it with other colours? Just ask, and we’ll help you do that.
Since this year’s ride is ending August 9, sales will remain open until the end date of the ride. 25% of the proceeds from each skein of Bike Rally yarn will be donated to the 2024 members of Team Knit: Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, Ken Allen, and Cam McLean
