Valley Yarns 1170 Taxus Kit

The Valley Yarns Taxus Kit includes the PDF pattern download and two colors of Northfield yarn.

Taxus combines texture, stranded colorwork, and a timeless set-in sleeve construction in a pullover whose easy fit has universal appeal. Valley Yarns Northfield ensures that this sweater is next-to-the-skin soft with its blend of Merino wool, baby alpaca, and silk. The body is knit in the round with a texture pattern on the bottom that transitions to stranded colorwork before the back and front are divided and knit in stockinette to the shoulders. Sleeves are knit in the round separately to the knit-flat sleeve caps and set in during finishing. Style and comfort combine beautifully in Taxus, making it a wonderful addition to any wardrobe. Texture pattern is both charted and written out; colorwork pattern is charted only.
