Valley Yarns Borage is a child’s pullover with a beefy cable in front, and fast stockinette sleeves and back, knit using Haydenville Bulky. Borage is a fast knit sweater that is worked flat in pieces and then seamed together. Valley Yarns Haydenville Bulky is an extraordinarily soft blend of superwash Merino and acrylic microfiber. Haydenville Bulky has a gentle, exquisite sheen that is ideal for cables and colorwork and it is machine-washable. The cable patterns are charted and written out.
