Cascade 220, colors 9465 Vashon Island Heather, 8010 Natural
The next pattern on our project list is the Lumme pullover by Sari Nordlund. If you are a lover of stranded colorwork then this is the next addition to your sweater collection.
Named after the Finnish word for a water lily, Lumme was inspired by the beautiful contrast of the dark waters of Finnish forest ponds & floating white water lilies. These beautiful nature-inspired colors come to life in this top-down, in the round pullover.
Sari chose Cascade 220 for this high contrast piece. Spun with 100% non-superwash wool, the worsted weight yarn works wonderfully for stranded colorwork. The heathered deep brown plays beautifully with the light natural to really show off the design.
