Valley
Yarns Shoal is a fabulous men’s cozy pullover for those chilly days knit in
Northampton. This Henley-style sweater brings bonus visual attention to a
timeless design with a textured rib body. Shoal is knit flat in pieces from the
bottom up and then seamed. The placket and neckband are picked up and worked in
ribbing. Valley Yarns Northampton is a workhorse yarn that you'll come back to
time and time again. We sourced soft Peruvian wool and dyed it in a beautiful
collection of solid colors and heathered shades.
