    About

    I wanted a new sweater to live in this summer. Something for the beach, evening barbeques and country walks with my dog. I'm thrilled with this result! Summer Skies is warm but light to wear, cosy in its luscious texture and generous in size - perfect over jeans or dresses. Just how I wanted it to turn out!

      Beautifully done! Is this difficult yarn to work with? Is it soft?

        It is lovely yarn and very easy to work with. I used it for my Linnea tunic design and was so impressed that I went to it for this sweater too (which is a great throw-on, look-good garment!). I think that Hemp Tweed is in the Loveknitting sale at the moment, if that helps.
