Do you ever the play game “guess what this is made of” with fiber (or non-fiber) friends? I stump everyone with this yarn. Outlaw Yarn’s Bohemia Sport consists of 10% possum fiber. You read that right. Possum. Trust me and give it a go. The halo is lovely, the drape is beautiful, and the overall look is gorgeous for stranded colorwork projects. This classic top-down yoke pullover features a slight turn of the Ocean Waves pattern with a pop of color on those triangles. I played it safe with the gray tones in the two main colors, so I could afford to be daring in my accent colors. Don’t be afraid to reach for that super bright yarn that’s been calling your name. This might be the perfect project for it.
