Orchard tales pullover

price excl. VAT €7.00

Imagine the tales an orchard might share. Michelle of Kokon yarn dyed these colourways inspired by my photo of a cherry tree orchard, full of greens and pinks and yellows, with spring in every drop of the dye. I planted beautiful flowers and a ginkgo tree in her orchard.

This romantic cropped pullover is worked top down in the round featuring floral stranded colourwork pattern in a soft fluffy mohair contrasting colour running across the round yoke and at the bottom of slightly puffy sleeves.
