Notes

After some time the sweater stretched very much - this is because the unspun fibres pull apart when handling the fabric. Note to self to hold the Nutiden double or with a spun yarn for future projects. Or to knit it very very tightly as a single strand.

————-

Omitted the colourwork
A single strand of Nutiden on 3.5mm needles, creating a fabric that is light as a feather..
Sleeves in Yama KidSilk also on 3.5mm needles, cuffs on 3.25mm, bind off in pattern on 3.5mm

The yarns are perfect together
Sweater weights 140grams

Whereever I pulled the nutiden too thin (creating a weak spot in the fabric) I will be adding quirky little mending patches with the kidsilk..there is one the back at the bottom so far, so fun!!

The sweater is not blocked as seen on these photos.
