This innovative design by Di Gilpin is made by sewing together a series of panels, in sequence, to create a spiral effect. “The fabric features a dropped stitch cable pattern, which is a 24-row repeat pattern,” explains Di. “Each panel is worked using three strands of yarn in different colour combinations, to produce an ombre effect.”
