Aubree Cardigan

As we settle into the winter months when most of us spend more time inside, it can be a good opportunity to start a project that may require a little more focus. May we suggest a project?
 

We are fortunate to have Aubree on loan in the shop for a few weeks. This is a beautiful cabled cardigan by designer Sarah Solomon -- a classic style but updated with a slightly cropped length and cables that are interesting but not overdone. It was designed for, and knit with, Manos' Alpaca Heather -- a DK weight, hand-dyed alpaca and wool blend.
 

 
We have many options for DK weight yarn. If you would like a solid-color wool yarn that can be machine washed, there are blends such as Plymouth's Encore DK, and Berroco's Vintage DK, as well as 100% wools such as Peer Gynt by Sandnes Garn, Berroco's Ultra Wool DK and Plymouth's Select DK Superwash Merino.
