Sometimes my little corner of Ireland is so very grey and rainy that I just need to play with colour. This band borrows the motif from the narrow Oseberg band rendered in King Cole Merino-Blend 4ply in the colours white, cranberry (red), cinnamon (orange), mustard (yellow), grass (green), sapphire (blue), and blackcurrant (purple). The sample band is 6.5cm wide to give it a soft drape and make it suitable for use as a trim. You'll need to pull the weft in tighter than I did if you want it to be suitable for a belt. It's a soothing weave as all the tablets are turned together in the same direction, but you will quickly get a build up of twist, so reverse your turning direction or flip your tablets and continue turning them forward to weave it out.
