The pattern features quintessential 1950s details such as a deep ribbed waistband, shaped side seams, elbow length sleeves and a high neckline with a zip inserted into the centre back neck.
The striking design though is what makes the Trimmed with Roses Jumper even more than the sum of its parts and it stands out as a wearable, beautiful and unforgettable piece of knitwear!
‘Trimmed with Roses’ Twinset Jumper is knitted using [productlink: Wold 2 Ply Fingering Weight = wold-2-ply-fingering-weight :productlink], a unique blend of the wool of three British sheep breeds known for their beautiful fleeces, Southdown, Bluefaced Leicester and Shetland, creating a fabulously soft yarn with bounce and spring.
