Gardens Under Glass was designed for the 2025 Minnesota Yarn Shop. The theme was In the Garden, and The Yarnery chose the Como Park Conservatory as its inspiration.

Gardens Under Glass is knit end to end in a leaf shape, with short row stripes that mimic the framework of a greenhouse, with the foliage in shadow peeking through.

The yarn used was custom-dyed for The Yarnery; kits are available for pre-order through Wednesday, April 9 at yarnery.com

Any 2 contrasting skeins of fingering-weight yarn will work beautifully for the project. The yarn used here is a single-ply, superwash merino wool.
