Two strands make this yarn interesting one strand is white cotton, the other charcoal wool. Worked to a chunky gauge in a wide, broken rib, the yarn is springy and makes a stretchy fabric. The sweater is simple: worked in pieces with drop shoulders and a ribbed yoke aided by a few short-rows to make a raised boatneck.
