ANDREA MOWRY ZIG SWEATER

From: $0.00

Zig is a comfy pullover worked from the bottom up with chevron colorwork, a split hem and drop shoulders. Perfect for staying cozy!

This sweater is worked from the bottom up, seamlessly except for the underarms. Starting with a split hem, the body is joined in the round and worked that way until the divide for the yoke. The remainder is worked flat, and the shoulders are finished with an exposed seam created using the 3 needle bind off.

**Pattern purchased separately and can be found on Andrea Mowry or Ravelry**

Alpakka Ull

ALPACA WOOL contains 65% alpaca and 35% wool. This premium quality yarn combines the best of both alpaca and wool to create a fiber that is both light and warm. The alpaca fiber provides the softness and insulation properties, while the wool contributes to the lightness and elasticity of the yarn.

The softness and comfort of this yarn makes it ideal for clothing that will be worn close to the skin, such as scarves, hats, mittens, and baby clothes.

Running length per 50g skein = about 100 meters/109 yds.

Wool 30 degrees Celcius
