A meticulously arranged stack of hand-knitted swatches in luxurious merino and alpaca yarn, each piece showcasing intricate cable, lace, and textured stitch patterns. The swatches feature soothing neutral shades—creams, sages, and classic greys—with distinct tactile details visible in the weaves. They are laid out on a matte, pale ash wood tabletop, accented by slender metal knitting needles and a minimalist ceramic yarn bowl nearby. Soft, filtered daylight from a side window casts gentle highlights across the textures, producing calm shadows that enhance depth. The mood is polished and serene, emphasizing professionalism and order. The image is photographed from an eye-level, slightly angled perspective that centers the swatches in a balanced composition. The style is clean, modern, and photographic, capturing the essence of a premium knitting pattern portfolio.
