Do you like having garments you can play with? A ‘Versatile’ can change your entire look with a quick twist or gather of the knitted fabric. It can change with your mood or the weather; adding interest in all kind of ways both practical and artistic.
Dìle Uist Wool Versatile is a Wrap, Skirt, Cowl – a wardrobe piece that one day can look kind of rad as a skirt and the next pile itself up around your neck to protect you from gale force wind. It can be as as simple and strong as a capelet or get edgy as a collar.
It’s heavenly to wrap something robust and wild-feeling around your neck and shoulders when you’re getting ready to brave the elements. The Dìle Uist Wool Versatile is hand knitted in a loose garter stitch so that it drapes beautifully and can be worn in all kinds of ways.
It features a split to make it a little more interesting. Wear it untwisted and draped over your shoulders, twist it once for a cowl/capelet-look or twist it twice for a chunky neck cowl.
The Uist Wool Dìle Versatile comes with a hand plaited, tasselled cord finished with a hand carved South Uist antler toggle. Weave this through any stitches to gather at either hem or simply wrap it around your Dìle Versatile as a tie.
The yarn is rustic and rough Uist Wool Dìle – Hebridean Cheviot and Hebridean Zwartbles – which makes this Inner Wild Versatile an heirloom piece. The natural, undyed colour is a rich, dark brown shot with lighter pale grey; the natural colouring of Zwartbles sheep. Beautifully earthy and authentic.
