Chanterrine showcases the unique lace rib stitches, which decorate your neckline so delicately that they look like a fine shawl wrapped around your neck. The bottom of the body and the cuffs are accentuated by the same stitches with a little twist.

The pullover is worked from the top down with a combination of circular yoke and raglan construction, so that knitters can easily custominse for their unique bodies.

What a pleasure to work with such an interesting yarn as Mongolian Yak wool! As Jon, the owner of ULA+LIA, states,

Yaks have different layers in their wool coats, much like goats. ULA + LIA only uses the finest, softest down layer that 1-3 year old yaks produce in the middle of bitter winters.

Due to their unique habitat of high elevations and bitterly cold temperatures, yak wool is very fine and soft, but also comprised of abnormally long and durable fibers. Like merino wool, yak wool is also finding its way into base layers due to its strength, warmth, and natural wicking properties.

Doesn’t it sound awesome?!
