Fortune Cookie by Beata Jezek,
Hedgehog Fibres Tweedy
Get ready to start knitting & loving these two fantastic pieces by Beata Jezek, the delightful creator & designer behind Hedgehog Fibres. Based in Cork, Ireland, the skilled dyers at Hedgehog Fibres create deeply saturated works of art. From their signature brights to moodier hues & neutral tonals, each yarn is a delight to knit & wear.
Fortune Cookie is an ultra-hip, oversized wrap with a modern lace motif that looks great on both sides. The ribbed edging gives the piece a satisfying drape. The wrap is knit in Hedgehog Fibres Tweedy, a soft, DK weight yarn with cool, rainbow nubs of color. The bits are recycled ties from the dying process that have been re-carded, blended & spun into this unique yarn!
The blend of Falkland Merino wool, recycled wool & thread waste began with just one color, but has now evolved to a collection of 8 fabulous hues. Make sure to check out our exclusive color, Soot, which was made from ties & yarn waste from Wool & Co.

- 4 skeins Hedgehog Fibres Tweedy
