Fleurs de Pavot

DARIO TUBIANA loves to embellish knitted fabric with embroidery, and for his latest artistic design he has developed a bold poppy pattern. The jumper is knitted in Cascade Yarns’ 220 wool, while Dario has worked the embroidery using a selection of shades of Rowan’s Alpaca Classic and Kidsilk Haze yarns from his stash. This pattern can also be left unembroidered to give you a classic wear-with-everything sweater, or used as a template for your own embroidery adventures.
