Millstream Tunic
Woods, water and wool were the face of York Mills a century ago, as today. A meandering local stream intersected the renowned New Brunswick forest here. A nearby railway terminus made a mill in that spot a shrewd business enterprise in 1916. Our Millstream Tunic celebrates that place and time. Vented sides and gentle A-line shaping create a relaxed fit in this body friendly design. The Millstream Cable meanders the length of the front and back, bordering the intriguing Deep Woods Lace centre panel. This panel may also be replaced by simple stockinette, or by a stitch of your choice. Three quarter sleeves fit easily into the modified drop shoulder. This garment is worked in pieces which are seamed together. All garter stitch bands are knitted in.
