Spleodar
…………………..…………………..
{splo-dar} Irish: cheer, vivacity.
Too cold for a party frock? Knit up a cozy party yoke! A speedy knit in Aran weight yarn, Spleodar is a fun design that is sure to brighten up the dull days. Try it in primary colours for a bright and playful look, in heathered tweeds for a more subdued palette, or in high-contrast monotone for a sophisticated aesthetic.
