About the Loveful 100% Recycled Tweed Sweater Knitting Pattern
Create this stylish high crew neck sweater with Sirdar Loveful 100% Recycled Tweed. Or use another double knit yarn with a tension of 28 rows x 22 stitches to 10cm.
The construction is a traditional one, knitting a back, front and sleeves and sewing them together. I always find mattress stitch the best way to sew up my garments.
If you are keen on recycling you'll love what Sirdar have achieved with this yarn. With all the soft, machine-washable qualities you expect from Sirdar, Loveful 100% Recycled Tweed
Blend is made using GRS-certified* waste from wool, acrylic and polyester fibre production. I do not stock this yarn at the moment but if the demand is there I can review this.
Colour shown is Silver 201
