Valley Yarns 937 Marjoram

Valley Yarns Marjoram is a graceful top-down women’s cardigan that is an essential wardrobe basic for every knitter, but this version in lightweight, easy-care Valley Superwash Sport is anything but basic. Knit in stockinette stitch, it is embellished with stranded colorwork front bands and matching colorwork cuffs at the edges of its three-quarter sleeves. Small sections of steeking make this a perfect introduction to the technique. Made from wonderfully soft extra fine superwash Merino, you'll love the stitch definition and drape of this yarn. Machine-washable, Valley Superwash Sport is family-friendly and will work up into gorgeously. The colorwork bands are in chart form only.
