Berroco Spencer is a gorgeous women’s cardigan featuring a shawl collar
and raglan sleeves knit with one strand of Sesame and one strand of Aerial held
together. Spencer is knit in one piece from the bottom up to the underarms, then
divided for back and fronts. The sleeves are worked flat, and the collar is picked
up around the front and neck edges. Berroco Sesame is a colorful self-striping
yarn with a subtle sheen. The fibers take the dye differently, producing a
marbled effect. Worsted weight Sesame is machine-washable, making it an excellent
choice for sweaters and projects that will be washed often.
