“THE TREND for interesting hemlines is strong this season, so I have created this lovely drape-front jumper,” says designer Jo Allport. “It’s knitted in an exquisite yarn that shows off this design well, and the cabled sleeves add even more knitting and textural interest.” Jo has chosen to use Canopy yarn from The Fibre Company. This is a soft, shiny blend of baby alpaca, merino and bamboo, that offers a lovely drape. The colour range is stunning, too, with a choice of 20 rich, deep hues
