Explore the Bold Beauty of Modern Nordic Colorwork: Inside the Dorthea Knit Collection
Description
On this episode of Skein and Tell Gea is diving into the bold, beautiful world of colorwork with the Dorthea Knit Collection from Copenhagen Fibers.
Named after the street where our Hobbii HQ lives, Dorthea is all about honoring tradition while giving it a fresh, modern twist. Four free patterns: a pair of mittens, a cowl, a statement sweater, and the crown jewel yoke sweater, all show off Scandinavian style in every stitch.
In this episode, we’ll unravel it all:
- Why colorwork feels like magic (and why it’s addictive once you start)
- How the yarns (Natural Wool, Brushed Alpaca, Baby Alpaca Blend, and Silk Mohair) combine to create texture, softness, and depth
- Gea's top tips for floats, color dominance, and choosing palettes you’ll love
- A quick trip through colorwork history, from Egyptian socks to Selbu stars to modern Scandi chic
- The difference between traditional motifs and today’s bold, graphic designs
All the Dorthea patterns are free on hobbii.com, and you can see all the photos, yarn pairings, and color inspiration on the blog:
