The Rotational movement of the earth can create amazing things like star trail photographs, that look like circular stripes of colour in the sky.

Rotational pays tribute to these amazing pieces of art with its striping colours circling the tunic in a slightly imperfect way.

Top-down and seamless with easily adjustable length, it is perfect for using mini skein sets, your favourite teams colours, or stash busting.

Rotational comes written in 12 sizes (from newborn to approximately 10 years of age), and is written for Heavy DK/8ply or Worsted/10ply weight yarn.
