Gorgeous delicate designbrown_heart
I incorporated some beads and embroidery!

Colourwork in an assortment of rust & maple left overs of Yama Merino Linen Singles held with rust and brown shades of Yama Merino Lace Singles or KidSilk.
Adding a DK ish weight super fuzzy mohair from Adele’s Mohair in the lower section of the colourwork..and more beads!

Main colour Barely there Khaki on Yama Merino Linen Singles.

Folded neck in a dark brown-green shade of Yama 75/25 Sock.

Total sweater weight 287gram
MC approx 166gram
Total CC approx 100gram
Beads approx 21gram

I like using a heavier yarn weight for colourwork to help define the stitches, this however means that the gauge is different especially in the row height. For this reason I split for sleeves in the colourwork to avoid the yoke getting too deep and the sweater riding up when lifting the arms.

Knitted it quite cropped with a wider hem ribbing
Omitted short rows
