Part of the Seascape Collection.

Always in motion, the surface of the sea ripples and curls - using a handpainted yarn’s own movement and variations, the Skin of the Sea reflects the ever-changing nature of the ocean.

It is worked sideways in a combination of eyelet rows and Indian Cross Stitch. To finish the garment, the bottom border, front bands and collar are picked up and knit at the end.
