Odin, by Conway + Bliss
Odin is a brand new super-bulky yarn from (the brand new) team of Conway + Bliss. It's a vibrant wool/synthetic blend that works up quickly on a size US 15 needle or an N hook. Lots of folks have been talking about wanting to let loose a little bit with color and have some fun, especially when it comes to accessories like hats and scarves. Hot pink, bright green, and no-apologies purple are back on the rise in popularity, paired with white or in all their own glory, in a bold bright blast of glowing tones. |
We've got a sample of Odin knitted up right here at Argyle. On the left is our own version of the Mosaic Cowl, worked up in the colors "Meadow" and "Lemonade," and on the right is another example of the same pattern, this time knit up in "Bubblegum" and "Coal." It's remarkable how totally different the effect can be just by switching colors. |
Conway+Bliss is a partnership between designer Teresa Conway and Nell Bliss, the daughter of the successful yarn maker Debbie Bliss.
“We are delighted to announce the launch of Conway+Bliss, aimed at encouraging and introducing new or younger knitters to the craft,” syas Debbie Bliss. “The new brand will combine exciting designs with the classic yarns integral to the Bliss line.”
“We see a growing market for the younger crafter,” says Nell Bliss, “and our aim is to provide fashion led projects for the style conscious knitter.”
Below are a handful of designs they've created for Odin. From left to right we've got the colorwork Eagle Shawl, a Bobble Cropped Top, and a Bobble Pom Pom Hat. I love the choice of colors for these cushions together, especially with the white background.
