Notes



Knitted by: Jess in our Edinburgh branch

Comment: Country Style DK worked really well as a substitute for Rowan Felted Tweed DK. It’s not a particularly flashy or extravagant yarn, but it comes in a great range of colours, and is a total bargain for a 100g ball. I’ve managed to knit two jumpers so far in Country Style DK without breaking the bank!
