If you want to work Charles sweater in Lang Cloud, round up to the next 100 g, if necessary in your size

Charles sweater is a thick oversize sweater with turtle neck, deep armhole openings and slits at the sides. The fit is large with long sleeves – like a cosy hug on cold winter days or for breezy summer-evenings by the sea. Due to the two threads, you can play with texture and colour, so that you create your very own sweater.
The sweater is worked top down with raglan increases at the yoke. Once the body is divided for the slits, the back piece is worked longer.

Vams in 100% Norwegian wool will give a dense and heavy sweater with good durability that will last long. The yarn has many good qualities such as tenacity.
Puno and Cloud will give a sweater with a bit more air between the stitches, but still with good thickness and warmth. As this yarn is a blown yarn, it does not felt.
