Hootenanny Sweater in Heirloom American Romney

Wooly wool is back in fashion, and we couldn’t be happier!  Fromsport weight Shetlands to DK tweeds, knitters are embracing the warmth and texture of hardy fibers such as Romney and Mohair. [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] is a yarn that really stands out from this crowd with its super loftiness and beautiful heathered color palette. Made in the USA from 100% American Romney wool, this delightful yarn inspired us to create a simple, everyday sweater with colorwork even beginners can get into: The Hootenanny Pullover.

Hootenanny is a simple dropped shoulder pullover, knit back and forth in pieces and seamed.  It’s all about the details with this boxy sweater: Garter rib lends a structured edge to the 3/4 length sleeves, high-low split hem and wide boatneck.  The back is worked in a contrasting color, with subtle striping placed along the shoulders for added interest.
