Tank tops are top of the list this season, and we adore this design from Debbie Bliss. Alda means small hill or ridge in Icelandic and the intarsia design knitted in Merion yarn reflects the natural landscape of the country, with its snow capped mountains, mossy meadows and lava fields. This is a fabulous project for perfecting your colourwork skills!

The Lovely Landscape collection is inspired by climate change and the impact on wildlife and for every pattern sold from the collection, we’re donating £1 to World Land Trust until August 2021. World Land Trust protects the world’s most biologically significant and threatened habitats acre by acre.
