Taliesin Jumper by Louisa Harding
This elegant jumper is designed by Louisa Harding. It is knit using Louisa Harding’s Amitola yarn which is a mix of 80% wool and 20% silk, which gives it a fabulous feel and warmth, without weight or bulk. Each 50g ball has 250 metres of variegated colour. Please note that this yarn is recommended to be handwashed.
The jumper is knit on 4mm needles, and is a mix of 2 colours of the yarn, to achieve this effect. This particular jumper is knit using 125 Sleepy Hollow, and 127 Amelia. Obviously you can choose a mixture of other colours, or even just do it in one colour.
