A triumph of techniques are combined in Lydia, this beautiful sweater from Debbie Bliss’ Folklore collection, celebrating the heady brights of embroidery and textural squish of cables! Working a yoke of cables is exciting enough, but nestled into the diamonds are embroidered flowers! This is a wonderful knit to make and wear, knit in Debbie Bliss Erin Tweed, a glorious tweed DK wool/alpaca/viscose blend that sings through its beautiful neps and soft twist.
