Angelica Pullover Using Rowan Felted Tweed
The Design
Sweet, romantic Angelica unites a classic pullover silhouette with lovely, intricate colorwork. Designed by Marie Wallin for her Bloomsbury collection, Angelica’s colorwork bands are each a different, pretty pattern ranging from floral to geometric.
Angelica was knit and designed in one of our favorite go-to yarns—Rowan Felted Tweed. A little rustic, a little refined, Felted Tweed is on the finer side of DK-weight. It blends merino wool (for softness and spring) with alpaca and viscose (for drape, luster, and stitch definition). And there are so many beautiful options for colorwork!
