STYLISH CARDIGAN
WITH A UNIQUE FRONT BAND
Its uniqueness of texture with the matching texture of the trimmings produces a garment of high quality, the professional kind.
To produce this type of garment makes buying a machine and learning to machine knit meaningful. The beautiful texture is created using MILAN and ROMA together for Double Bed Jacquard. The result, of combining the two contrasting yarns, is a unique and beautifully light fabric. The front, lower back and front band all worked in one.
Yarn:
Main Colour: 250 gram single MILAN - Super Kid Mohair
Contrast Colour: 250 gram single ROMA - 100% Extra Fine Merino Wool
Stitch Pattern: 24 jacquard stitch repeat, for standard gauge machines including Passap/Pfaff and Singer.
