For this cabled design, I wanted to try something a bit different. I chose 2 colours of Cherry Tree Hill’s luscious new possum-fur yarn from New Zealand, and Barbara Walker’s mosaic cable stitch. The result is a warm cuddle of softness, great for days out in the snow - whether you live in the North-west, North-east, or way Down Under!
