Gepard 4 Little Faroese – multi
4 Little Faroese is part of the collection Patterned Borders. As the name suggests, the pattterned borders here are inspired by traditional Faroese patterns which are used for a short and long sweater as well as a cardigan. These are, respectively, knitted in Sealord, CottonWool 5 and (on the cardigan) both. A lovely model for colour experiments.
