The Fibre Co. Star Anise PDF

The Fibre Co. Star Anise from the Almanac Series is a gorgeous women’s Fair Isle sweater knit in Acadia. This lovely sweater features a boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders with a high or crew neckline options. Star Anaise is knit in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. Fibre Company Acadia is a stunning blend of Merino, baby alpaca, and silk. It has a slight tweedy appearance because the silk takes the dye slightly differently.
