Arcadia Beret and Mitts

Arcadia Beret and Mitts Knitting Kit with Morris DK Yarn

Step into a world of whimsical elegance with the Arcadia Beret and Mitts, a captivating knitting duo designed by the visionary team at Birch + Bliss. Inspired by the lush, enchanted gardens of Arcadia, this set blends intricate lace motifs with subtle colorwork florals, creating a beret that sits like a crown of blooming vines and mitts that wrap your hands in delicate, petal-soft warmth. Ideal for autumn strolls or cozy evenings, these pieces add a poetic flourish to any wardrobe—timeless accessories that evoke the romance of secret groves and whispered winds.

Exclusively paired with West Yorkshire Spinners Morris DK yarn, this kit honors the rich tapestry of British wool traditions. Crafted from 100% pure British wool drawn from premium local fleeces, Morris DK delivers a sumptuous hand-feel: velvety soft yet resilient, with a natural loft that blooms beautifully in every stitch. Its evocative palette of muted greens, soft ivories, and hints of wildflower blush—reminiscent of Arcadian meadows—invites personalization, from tonal neutrals for understated grace to gentle contrasts that highlight the lace's airy elegance. Each 50g ball yields 112 meters of DK-weight luxury, ensuring a lightweight fabric that's breathable, insulating, and effortlessly chic.
