Valley Yarns 864 Milkweed

Who doesn’t love a cozy sweater for layering on chilly fall mornings? Valley Yarns Milkweed is longer in the back with a shirttail hem; it features set-in pockets, subtle A-line shaping, and a v-neck, all worked in an easily memorized textured stitch pattern. This woman’s pullover is knit in Valley Yarns Amherst, a worsted weight yarn that shows texture and stitch patterns beautifully and has a wide range of colors in 100% Merino wool. The twisted stitch pattern is charted and written out.
