Mila was inspired by stained glass windows and how the sun shines through them, with the light playing with shadow and hue. Choose three colors with lots of contrast between each other. You can choose a speckled yarn for a fun effect, but make sure the speckles don’t interfere with all of the other colors.

The single ply yarn I used gives the sweater a slight shine, which adds to the stained glass imagery. Look for a fiber with a bit of silk content if you wish to achieve a similar result.

P.S. Yardage (meterage).
