Stand Together Sweater
This is a worsted weight sweater knit from the top down.
It was created in response to the violent and unjust events of 2020 which resulted in the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery.
It is inspired by a specific event that took place in Louisville, KY where a line of white protestors formed a chain to protect a line of black protestors.
The interlocking colored rings (black & white) in the chart represent those people protecting each other, and taking a stand for change; all connected by the shared loss of life (red).
Some Neighborhood Fiber Co. colorways to use are: Grey - Patterson Park, Black - Druid Hill, White - Roland Park, Red - Station North
Highly recommend using any worsted weight yarn from any of the following black/BIPOC owned dyers:
● Birch Hollow Fibers ● Corvid Fiber Co. ● Lola Bean Yarn Co. ● Third Vault Yarns ● Queens Yarn Boutique ● Rhythm Knits ● Neighborhood Fiber Co. ● Lady Dye Yarns ● Urban Girl Yarns ● Ewe-nited States of Fiber ● Abstract Fiber ● Hopkins Fiber Studio ● Chicken Coop Dyeworks ● Ocean by the Sea ● Onyx Fiber Arts ● Mitchell’s Creations ● Bah Bah Fibers ● Dye Hard Yarns ● Essence of Autumn ● I am Fully Spun ● I feel like Dyeing ● Mother of Purl ● Yarn Shoppe- Denver (Bags by CAB) ● Snerb yarn ● OMG yarn ● Four Square Micro Farm
