I adore this yarn - Australian Merino by Windy Valley!
It is as amazingly soft and strong, provides wonderful drape and stitch definition, and is an absolute joy to knit with.

Starling is worked from the top down in one-piece with ribbing at the back waist to add some shaping. The simple lace collar is picked up and knit after the body is complete.
