One can never have enough Hap’s. They’re awesome, warm, comfy and can be very colourful. I wanted a bold statement border, and as per usual, I chose landscape colours. A beautiful gradient, because the Spindrift is almost always a combination of several shades in 1 thread. The border became pretty wide, so it needed a wide edge too. Norra is the Swedish word for Northern. My husband travels to Sweden often, for his work, and I’ve joined him many times. I hope we go beyond Stockholm, one day… Yarn 1 9 balls 203 Jamieson and Smith 2ply Jumper weight 105m/25gr! * 1 ball 1 (Optic white!), Jamieson and Smith 2ply Jumper weight. Yarn 2 Jamieson’s of Shetland Spindrift for the border colours. There are 12 and depending on tension I used 1 ball for each colour number. Except for Mirrie Dancers, you need 2. I chose these colours because the darker colours are mixed. That makes for an amazing gradient but also a bit tough to represent in a colour chart that cant mix the colours.
