Explore the possibilities of using beads in your knitting with Beaded Colourwork, a contemporary collection of 17 knitting patterns by Jeanette Sloan. This book brings together sparkly beads, cosy yarns and chic silhouettes in a rainbow of colours, reflecting Jeanette’s signature style. The collection includes both accessories and garments — from stylish beanies and shawls to a luxurious poncho and an eye-catching cardigan — designed to make beaded knitting approachable and fun.
“Jeanette’s designs are a brilliant introduction to knitting with beads and are sure to get every knitter who joins her on this journey excited.”
– Debbie Abrahams
Jeanette Sloan BEM is a leading UK knitwear designer. She teaches both online and in person, and her writing has appeared in knitting publications including Vogue Knitting and Laine Magazine, where she has a regular column. Jeanette is also the founder of BIPOC in Fiber, a resource showcasingBIPOC fibre artists.
Jeanette's creations are modern and edgy, pushing the boundaries of traditional knitting techniques while challenging the knitter to create something inspirational and breathtakingly beautiful. The beaded garments and accessories that Jeanette has created for this collection are chic, stylish, totally wearable, and show off the beads to their very sparkly best.
Like tiny dots of light, glass beads can add a touch of luxury to the humblest of fibres, a comforting tactile quality to the plainest knit and as much embellishment to a project as you care, or dare, to add.
"Beaded colourwork is the term I use to describe the technique of threading beads onto yarn in a predetermined sequence in order to create motifs or patterns that are revealed as the item is knitted."

Precision-made in Japan, Miyuki Size 6 Seed Beads are the gold standard for beadwork that needs beautiful consistency, colour depth and effortless drape.
