I had this yarn in my stash, but I never got a chance to work with it yet. And I wanted to try a different type of yarn for this design, since the drop stitches looked like they can provide enough “ventilation”, thus making it a truly in-between seasons sweater!

Linen and Merino here provide different drape compared to the all wool version. And this particular one I made cropped body length. It is very light, but being linen blend it is very flowy and drapey!
