Notes

Oh my god, THIS YARN. It’s amazing. I can’t say enough about the British Sheep Breeds yarn! It’s worth every penny. I want to buy enough for three more sweaters at least, so I’m on a continuous mission to find it one sale now. The BFL is soft and light and a dream to work with, and I’m so happy with how this came out! It’s a really simple, straight-forward sweater, but it’s excellent with this yarn!
