About the Loveful 100% Recycled Tweed Cardigan Knitting Kit
Create this bell sleeve cardigan with Sirdar Loveful 100% Recycled Tweed.
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.
