All Weather is Sweater Weather!
Have you seen the Tilly pattern from This.Bird.Knits. yet!? This simple top is knit in the round - top down - incorporating short rows across the back for slight shaping. What makes it even more incredible is that the two smaller sizes can be knit using just one skein of YOTH yarns Best Friend; the other sizes only require two. Tilly is designed with 10-20" of positive ease, so choose the size that has a finished circumference between 10-20" bigger than your actual measurement. Meg is wearing an XS...it actually measures 50"!!
Best Friend is a light fingering weight, 75% cotton/25% wool blend with 550 yards per 100g skein. It's a slightly "slubby" thick/thin yarn that's especially perfect for spring- and summer-weight sweaters and shawls...we're pretty serious when we say "all weather is sweater weather!"
Best Friend is not available for online purchase, but if you'd like to place an order, give us a call at the store and we'll be happy to take your order old-school-style...give us a ring! (615) 354-1007.
Colors, left to right: 1: Natural Vanilla; 2: Oyster; 3: Blueberry; 4: Cracked Pepper; 5: Shiitake; 6: Peach; 7: Mango; 8: Ginger Root; 9: Olive; 10: Mint
