The British designer Zandra Rhodes has had a huge influence on the world of fashion during a career spanning 50 years. Famous for her exuberant colour combinations and innovative silhouettes (and for her iconic pink hair!), Zandra has long had a love of knitwear, having been taught to knit by her grandmother.
This year, she has teamed up with British yarn company West Yorkshire Spinners to develop brand-new shades for its most popular and versatile yarn ranges, Signature 4ply and ColourLab DK. The collection includes six vibrant and variegated colourways, including Zandra’s Rainbow, Forest Stripes, and Sunset Bouquet. Zandra has also created a collection of wearable, colourful handknit patterns showcasing these new colourways.
