Sweater Delight

Quasar Sweater by Dario TubianaThe Fibre Co. Cumbria, colors Isel & Blackbeck

Delight in the knitting satisfaction of the Quasar Sweater. This approachable piece features a modern take on stranded colorwork with varying size squares of color popping against the light background.

The top-down sweater is knit seamlessly in the round with minimal finishing, so you can block & wear. It fits well & is flattering on all ages. Quasar is knit in The Fibre Co. Cumbria, one of our favorite recommendations for garments. Cumbria is a wool lovers blend of Merino & Masham with a touch of mohair to add that cozy glow.

This magical blend creates a yarn that is a pleasure to knit, wears well & holds shape beautifully. Garments knit in Cumbria block superbly & get softer the more they are worn.
