Insh is a top-down, saddle-shoulder sweater with options for a round neck or henley neckline and that can be worked up in stockinette or in super squishy Half Fisherman’s Rib.
Insh is Rebecca’s first ever pattern to have two fully separate fit options. The “Femme” version is graded to a women’s sizing standard and the “Masc” version to a men’s sizing standard.
This means that upon purchasing the pattern you’ll get four separate documents (Masc- Stockinette, Masc - HFR, Femme - Stockinette, Femme - HFR).
Gauge:
Stockinette versions: 20 stitches and 28 rows per 10cm/4 inches

Devonia is the first blend John Arbon created which was made exclusively using local West Country fibre. For Devonia, they chose a beautiful blend of Exmoor Blueface, Bluefaced Leicester and Lustre breeds. The Exmoor Blueface – their local sheep – brings its wonderful springy nature, the Bluefaced Leicester lends its outstandingly soft handle and lustre to the yarn, whilst the lustre breeds (a combo of Wensleydale and Romney) add their qualities of beautiful golden sheen and fine drape.
Together they create a wonderfully drapey lustrous blend, with just a dash of woolly bounce. It’s a go-to fibre for any time you want a little swing, like shawls and drapey cardis.
