Universal Yarn Shortleaf is a women’s sweater with patterning along the upper body that looks like a cluster of pine trees perched alongside a mountain range. Shortleaf is knit in Fibra Natura Papyrus in the flat from the bottom up in pieces. The shoulders are joined using the three-needle bind off method and seamed together. Papyrus is a DK weight thread plied yarn with a slight bouclé feel that you’ll love to work with. This cotton and silk combination is perfect for this lightweight sweater. The twist patterns are in chart form only.
