Late Summer News

The last days of summer have a special atmosphere. The morning air becomes a little chilly. The colours of nature are more saturated than ever. And for all of us who love needle work our fingers start itching for new projects. Just the time to read about news from Sommerfuglen.


Isager Yarn

ISAGER YARN

Did your mind go travelling with Marianne Isager in her three books: Knitting out of Africa, Japanese Inspired Knits and the newly released Inca Knits? And do you prefer to knit the beautiful designs in the original yarn qualities and colours, chosen by Marianne Isager?

Sommerfuglen has now added Marianne Isager’s own brand to the shopping list of carefully chosen and exclusive options.

Linen from Haandarbejdets Fremme

FABRICS FROM HAANDARBEJDETS FREMME

The luster of linen is unique and different from all other fabrics. The colours are creamy white to light tan and perfect for the timeless designs from Haandarbejdets Fremme.

We love natural fibres and the beauty of them. Linen is elegant and durable, the natural choise for your next embroidery project!


Naturen i Korssting

INGRID PLUM - NATUREN I KORSSTING

Embroiderers will welcome this new delightful collection of designs by Ingrid Plum, inspired by nature.

Sommerfuglen is proud to work with Ingrid Plum. It is fascinating to receive the patterns from Ingrid and see how the designs come alive. We have stiched and mounted all the items in the book, and if you visit the shop on Vandkunsten, you can admire the display of Ingrid Plum's designs.

Allthough this book is written in Danish, the language of embroidery is international!

The Year in Cross Stitch - 2010

The Year in Cross Stitch - 2010

Sonia Brandes has created twelve charming papercuts for this years calendar from Haandarbejdets Fremme.

Except from the fine and lovely paper cuts and the accompanying embroidery patterns the calendar also presents 12 photos of stitched models, giving new ideas how to mount the embroideries.

Handknitted Garments

ON SALE - Handknitted Garments

Quite extraordinarily Sommerfuglen offers a number of selected, ready made handknitted designs from our showroom. The prices are quite reasonable, some even cheaper than the yarn price!

They all appear at a very high standard.
