EnsembleEnsemble is more than just a gathering of talented designers. It is the product of a particular esthetic, careful selection, and a mindful approach to styling and presentation. This collection is all about how to make your knits a functional part of your wardrobe rather than a layer on top of your look. We believe that Bare Naked Wools create exceedingly beautiful and high-end fabrics in stunning, natural shades for knitwear that goes beyond the boundaries of handmade.
The rush of energy and happiness that spring brings inspired the Spring 2016 Ensemble collection. The pieces in this collection work together to create dozens of looks from cozy and chill to flirty and fun. We hope you love knitting and wearing this playful collection as much as we loved creating it.

Bare Naked WoolsBare Naked Wools is a yarn label created to meet the needs of knitters. No chemicals, dyes, or harsh processing create durable fabrics that showcase the integrity of each fiber. Our yarns come from animals that are loved and doted on and mills that understand and appreciate their materials. This collection features seven American-made, Bare Naked Wools lines—all with their own story.
Better Breakfast: This Merino/Alpaca blend is “better” because the alpaca fiber is dehaired, meaning the prickly guard hairs are removed to make it absolutely soft and cozy. The DK weights work up quickly into accessories, sweaters and blankets as the fingering blend, with an added 10% nylon, makes incredible shawls, socks, and light projects.
Hempshaugh: Hemp has a rich history as a fiber, food, and more all over the world, but we think it is richest in England. Hempshaugh, named after an English town, is a blend of soft, comfortable merino wool, luxurious silk, and sturdy, breathable hemp. This blend is perfect for garments and accessories that look refined and wear as comfortably as an old cotton t-shirt. The fabric it creates is flexible and textured with a halo and shine that lends a look of luxury.

Ginny: Ginny is a cotton yarn for wool lovers. It has the undeniable texture and comfort of cotton combined with the warmth, substance, and versatility of wool. Ginny is a blend that will make excellent close-to-the-skin pieces like skirts, blouses, sweaters, and accessories. It is cozy soft and the fabric is breathable and light, which makes it an ideal yarn for baby and kid knits.
Stone Soup: Stone soup is a unique blend of rambouillet, columbia, lincoln, navajo-churro, alpaca, silk, bamboo, tencel, bison, and llama, which offers exotic color, tweedy texture, and crisp stitch definition. The fabric is perfect for any project—from blankets to lace shawls.
Chebris: a wonderful, airy blend of Merino and Mohair that knits up into a luxurious and unbelievably lustrous fabric. This yarn, in Lace, Sport, and Worsted, has an incredibly soft and next-to-the-skin appeal that truly debunks the myth that all mohair is itchy.
Cabécou: available in a fine Lace and a springy Sport is made up of three gorgeous lustre fibers—romney, mohair, and tussah silk—which come together to make a yarn with beautiful drape and nonstop sheen.
Ghillie: Cheviot is a soft, resilient, fine wool fiber traditionally used to make hardwearing Scottish tweed and twill cloth as well as for knitting kilt hose. Its unusual crimp gives it bounce and strength; it blooms wonderfully into a soft, cohesive fabric with excellent stitch definition. The fingering weight works well for sock and accessories such as gloves, mitts, and shawls. This wool is produced and spun entirely in America.

A lightweight cardigan, dress or jumper, and vest in ten sizes (XS/S/M/L/1X/2X/3X/4X/5X/6X) with subtle body shaping that flares below the waist to tunic or knee length. This button-down or pullover style to knit in a plant based blend or fine tweedy wool, is accented by vertical bands of mock cable texture with a touch of openwork.

What could be more versatile than a summery, striped shirt that goes to the office with a suit or skirt, but works for a sporty weekend look, too? This top in ten sizes (XS/S/M/L/1X/2X/3X/4X/5X/6X), with subtle body shaping, textured stripes, and an open placket with collar, can be knit sleeveless or with short sleeves, in two colors or one, and works up beautifully in cool, plant-based yarns. All pieces are knit flat from the bottom up and seamed.

Arundhati
Andrea Rangel
This lightweight asymmetrical shawl can be wrapped up cozily around the neck on chilly days or worn as an open, airy layer over a summer dress to show off its pretty alternating bands of garter stitch and lace. The piece is worked flat from its wide base and diminishes in stitch count to a narrow point at the other end with decreasesalong one side. The slanted side becomes the top edge when worn, so that the patterned stripes are presented at an angle. Knit in a light, wooly yarn, this piece works with casual denim and tweeds in any season; in a light, silky yarn, it is elegant and streamlined for a dressier effect. A great first lace project or one for the traveling knitter.

A longer, easy-fitting pullover in ten sizes (XS/S/M/L/1X/2X/3X/4X/5X/6X). Optional short row shaping adds a bit of length at the back hem; neck and hems are finished with narrow ribbing. Accented by vertical bands of mock cable texture with a touch of openwork, this piece works up well in a cool hemp or cotton blend for spring and summer or soft wool for fall and winter; it will be a year-round favorite for home, office, and travel.

Bristol Ivy
This versatile pullover in eight sizes (XS/S/M/L and 1X through 4X) is a great multi-seasonal addition to any wardrobe when knit in a plant-based yarn blend. Worn alone or layered under a jacket it will tie together a skirt or trouser outfit for work, but also plays well with shorts and jeans for weekend fun. The design features a two-tone yoke created by short rows with cabled insets and body shaping through the torso; elbow length sleeves add just the right amount of coverage for a neat, modern look.

Zwickel
General Hogbuffer
One of the traditional forms of Alpine knitted stockings involves the use of a “Zwickel” with a “Zwickelkeil”, i.e. a clock motif with a gusset. These tend to be highly decorative, and the purpose of the gusset is to move the banded designs diagonally towards the centre front. Rather than using this concept for purely aesthetical reasons, I decided to give it a function within the heel construction. So while traditionally these clock motifs would be placed somewhere around the mid-calf region, I have moved the Zwickel onto the ankle, where the resulting gusset forms the base for a Strong Heel set up.

Salt & Pepper
Anne Hanson
A cool, lightweight top in 10 sizes (XXS to L and 1X to 5X) to knit sleeveless or with sleeves cuffed below the elbow. Top is fitted at the bust, falling away from the body below with gentle A-line shaping to a deep garter stitch hem. Neck is finished with a relaxed garter stitch band that tips slightly forward for dimension; neck and sleeve finishes may be striped if desired. Knit in a fresh, plant based blend for an airy fabric that will take you from spring through the hottest summer days and into fall; also pairs well with jackets for work or dressier events.

Amalfi Coast
Anne Hanson
A flirty drawstring skirt in 9 sizes (XS/S/M/L/1X/2X/3X/4X/5X) to wear as a stylish alternative to shorts for summer fun. Worked in the round from waist to hem in widening panels, the fabric is solid through the hip, with openwork patterning to the knee. Stripe it for eye-catching flare or solid for a more elegant look; length is easily adjusted.Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size and drape.

Chevi
Anne Hanson
This flattering, tunic length cardigan in nine sizes (XS/S/M/L/1X/2X/3X/4X/5X) has a flared shape below the inset waist with optional short row shaping to create a curving back hem. With a bold openwork back, hem, and lower sleeves, this cardigan draws interest coming and going—it looks sharp and streamlined at the office, but has the drama to go straight on to evening activities. This piece works up well in both a smooth yarn blend and a slightly fuzzy luxury fiber; in a plant-based yarn it would even make a luxuriously stylish robe for bath or poolside.

Gibo Auja
Janelle Martin
The design of this unisex rectangular wrap in two sizes (petite/tall) is inspired by the Viking rune, Gibo Auja, a rune to call good luck or fortune. The elements in this shawl are kept to a minimum. The star players here are the fabric and the large runic motifs. While less airy than more open lace patterns, the strong graphic elements of the shawl create a statement piece.

Pothos
Anne Hanson
This dramatic triangle shawl is worked from neck to hem in a mix of mesh openwork entwined with ever-increasing leaf and vine motifs. While visually complex, the stitchwork consists of simple increases and decreases, with wrong side rows all in purl; this project is a relaxing knit that is intriguing but not overly challenging to work (and surprisingly fast to knit!). Pattern can be worked in a fine lace yarn to create a delicate fabric or heavy lace and light fingering yarn for one that is more substantial. This piece would make a gorgeous wedding shawl.

Cardita
Andrea Rangel
This lacy top-down cowl is knit completely in the round and features an allover purl shell pattern with lots of depth and texture, due to a constant grouping and ungrouping of stitch clusters. The easily memorized pattern and lightweight yarn choices make this a perfect on-the-go project, which is easily resized. Long enough to wrap twice, this light layer is also deep enough to tame windblown hair while enjoying breezy beach or boat outings.

Arques
Rich Ensor
A top down sock in eight sizes that can be worked in both fingering and sport weight yarns. The pattern features a textured background interrupted by two curvy lace ribs on either side of the socks. The lace ribs start in the cuff and begin their meandering down the leg. Designed with a standard slipped stitch heel flap and gusset, the heel can be replaced with any heel technique preferred by the knitter without altering the lace and textured pattern. Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size and elasticity.

A pretty, swirling stitch pattern rises in columns along the length of this airy scarf or stole in three sizes (petite/medium/tall) to add interest for a day outfit or drama with evening wear. Worked with basic lace stitches, the pattern carries the shading of a heathered yarn along its curvy lines; the movement is further accented by furrows of reverse stockinettte ribs to add depth. Overall, the pattern is simple to work with WS rows in knit and purl—it’s a great beginning lace project or good travel knitting for more experienced knitters.

Bristol Ivy
Bristol Ivy is a knitting designer and teacher from Portland, Maine. Her design work focuses on the intersection between innovative technique and classic tailoring, and her classes focus on creativity, technique, and understanding the nuts and bolts of knitting.
General Hogbuffer
General Hogbuffer was born in Germany and has learned knitting the classic way, by initially being taught by his grandmothers, although, being a boy, he was never heavily encouraged to pursue it. He studied fashion design and learned the basics of industrial machine knitting, but it took being out of work for a time for him to really give hand knitting another go. His focus is on the various traditions of knitting and the specific regional styles that have evolved through the centuries, but coming from a background in pattern cutting, he is always looking at different ways to create shape and construct forms. Socks with their clearly defined structure were an ideal first subject for experimentation in this regard, and he has carved himself a little niche in that respect.
