Valley Yarns Nutmeg will take your favorite kid from fall through spring using Valley Yarns Valley Superwash. Nutmeg has a generous positive ease that allows for growth spurts and lots of active wear! This hoodie is worked in the round from the bottom to the armholes. The sleeves are worked separately and then seamed to the body. Our Valley Yarns Valley Superwash is made from 100% extra fine Merino wool, and it’s machine-washable in cold water with a mild detergent or Eucalan.
