LUCIA PULLOVER




A Pure & Simple Wool

100% Aquilana wool

Sport weight with 100g – 300m

Description

We met Sari Nordlund at Barcelona Knits Festival and it was such a pleasure to chat of all woolly things with her!

So when we saw this awesome projects she designed  in A Pure and Simple Wool, we were over the moon.

This pullover has an unusual construction starting from the back and then adding seamlessly the shoulders and then the front parts afterwards;  once you've joined the front and back you'll proceed in the round.

 

All cables and structures that you see are repeated throughout the different parts of the pullover and charted, so quite easy to follow.

Please note the the pattern requires a strand of silk-mohair added to our yarn

 

The original sample is knitted in LATTE, the undyed base of Pure&Simple, while for ours we chose SALVIA paired with the magnificent Silky Shadow  in colorway SWAMP hand dyed by Francesco Dark Omen Yarn
