Orchidaceae is a stunning DK weight sweater knitted in the round with a beautful lacy yoke. The pattern includes instructions for sizes from 28-62 inches (71-157cm) and both written and charted instructions for the lace yoke. Orchidaceae is knitted using [link: Excelana DK =:= /collections/excelana-dk :link], a double-knit weight 100% British wool yarn, worsted spun with a soft handle. Despite its softness, Excelana is a sturdy yarn that doesn’t pill easily. Made from 100% British wool, grown, sheared, spun and finished in the UK and hand-dyed in house by Susan and her daughter, Charlie at their dye studio,”A Room Of My Own”.
The shade shown in the photographs is [link: Cinnamon =:= /products/excelana-dk-cinnamon :link].
