French Roast Cardi
Description
Generally, when designing a sweater, I choose one design element. When I started thinking about what I wanted to wear this winter, I decided I needed to have texture. I love the effect of an all over textured cardigan and I knew I was in for a treat when I unwrapped this yarn! It is plump and soft and with just that right amount of sheen to make the texture sparkle. In fact, it sparkles just like my favorite French roast coffee beans do!
