Life in the Long Grass - DK Twist
Hand-dyed in small batches in South West Ireland, County Cork.
We were so smitten with these sweaters in the newest Issue of Life in the Long Grass Magazine , we've ordered some of the lovely DK Twist for these patterns.
Dk Twist is a heavier yarn weight similar to worsted weight and a sturdy, structural yarn with good stitch definition and lots of smooth softness.
The patterns can only be found in the Life in the Long Grass issue 7 magazine.
We do not normally stock this base so get it while you can!
The Flower sweater -Bláth, designed by Teti Lusak and the Swoncho Sweater designed by Lucía Ruiz De Aquirre Rodríguez both use the gorgeous DK Twist for these stunning designs.
