Design inspiration: “I envisioned a design that reflects the origins of its materials. When I think of regenerative farming, my mind immediately evokes images of livestock grazing on green pastures and flourishing mixed crops, hence the sheep motif. Wovenbeyond provides a fantastic array of yarn and colours that perfectly complemented this vision. My goal was to create a pattern that is not only visually striking but also accessible to all skill levels, incorporating knitting, crochet, and embroidery in a way that is easy to understand and execute. I hope you enjoy making and wearing the Sheep Vest as much as I do!” Anna Tamas-Katzer, founder of the brand Anna’s Tits ‘N’ Tats
