Venskab means friendship. The Venskab Knits collection of patterns is a collaboration between two friends to showcase lustrous small-batch Leicester Longwool yarn from Hurricane Hill Farm in Rhode Island, in easy but engaging patterns designed by Kathie Popadin of Shake Your Booties.

The motifs in the Venskab Knits collection are primarily inspired by Vivian Høxbro’s wonderful book, “Traditional Danish Sweaters,” which explores the history of Danish “night sweaters” with their fabulous textured patterns and twisted stitches.

Hurricane Hill Farm is a small-scale heritage farm in Rhode Island, raising Leicester Longwools, an endangered, historic sheep breed.
