Okanagan Cloudy Skies
This sweater is inspired by my recent trip to the lovely Okanagan Park in BC, Canada. A loose pullover top with a lace trim for those cooler nights. Classy and organic, these 2 yarn together are heaven. I love buttons, they add jewellery to your piece.
The cloudy skies followed me everywhere I went that trip. So here is my interpretation of the most delightful blue sky I ever seen.
I love this yarn combo, however, after I was done I discovered the “halo” bundle by handmaiden/fleece artists, its a local Canadian dyer and I think this yarn would also be prefect for this project. If you are intending to knit with this bundle, please contact me with pictures. I am dying to see your result.
Yarn Used:
Kidsilk Haze by Rowan (in colour pearl) : super kid mohair / silk mix (5,5,5,6,6 balls)
Fino by Manos Del Uruguay (in colour silhouette): extra fine merino and silk (3,3,3,4,4 hanks)
I found it preferable to knit from two balls separately instead of winding them together.
