Wildflower Meadow
Wildflower Meadow is a top down circular yoke sweater featuring stranded colourwork around the yoke. The organic, untamed nature of wildflowers is portrayed within the colourwork yoke, and reminds me of carefree summer days.
As it is created with fingering weight yarn, it will be the perfect piece in your wardrobe for transitioning through seasons or to keep you warm on cooler summer evenings.
