Booker Pullover uses two Shibui yarns, Tweed Silk Cloud and Cima. One of my favorite things about Shibui is the amazing versatility. Shibui encourages combining their various bases to create different fabrics. I held TSC with Cima in the opaque stripes and for the trim/edges. You could also use Shibui’s Lunar in place of Cima, a perfect example of the flexibility of Shibui yarns. The fabulous shop where I work, A Good Yarn Sarasota, has a wonderful selection of Shibui yarns.

Notes:
This design is knit in Front & Back pieces, each worked cuff to cuff. The top edges are picked up and worked, then seamed using 3-needle BO. Once the sides are joined, the bottom is picked up and worked in the round. It is designed with a series of stripes, alternating with Yarn A alone and Yarns A + B held together. This design, as written, is a full-length sleeve for most people. I am 5’9” with an even longer wingspan, which explains why it hits above my wrist.
