THIS YOKED, short-sleeve jumper features a striking stranded colourwork pattern worked in five shades of Lanamania alpaca yarn. Look closely, though, and you’ll see an array of fascinating stitch textures, including little clusters and the decorative ‘Spider Feet’ pattern. The Alpura yarn is hard to find in the UK, so we have suggested a good alternative.
