Local designer Enda Taylor has designed a modern classic pullover using Pretzel, our DK-weight U.S. merino wool yarn from Bread & Butter!

The Linked Pullover is a top-down yoke sweater with a simple colorwork motif.
Perfect for beginners!

Pretzel is made of U.S. merino wool and comes in a lovely palette of heathered colors. Each colorway has been blended by hand and milled in the Carolinas. Our local flora and fauna as well as our knowledge of natural color inspires the Bread & Butter hues. 

This bundle is for Kristine's version, featuring Pretzel in Inkwell with four contrast colors. Check out Enda's two-color version here!

I adore Enda's two color version and when I set out to make my own and began analyzing color options I became curious about using more than one color for my stripes. I was inspired by this photo of mussel shells which are so similar to the ones we see on our walks at the beach. Our local beaches can be quite chilly, even during the Summer, however, once one leaves the beach, it can be quite warm! So I envision wearing this sweater layered over my light linen layers - to keep warm at the beach, and stay cool when heading inland. I am also very excited to wear this cozy, soft sweater this Fall and am so happy to already have one Fall sweater off the needles! It is next-to-skin soft! And very easy to knit.
