Kerenza is a romantic Cornish name that means love. What more needs to be said! I love the way this charming cardigan turned out. Tailored up top with an a- line shaped body to give plenty of room in the hips. Beautiful cables, pretty details all finished off with a romantic closure at the top of the front. I used Carol Feller’s wonderful yarn Nua for this design, which I also love!. It is an amazing blend of merino, yak and linen that is absolutely dreamy to work with. And it has great stitch definition which makes it a perfect match for this cardigan.
