So, I'm trying to create a project to use up some Indigo yarn I picked up from Yeoman Yarns. I had this thought to build a series of summer sweaters, but I think for now I'm going to make myself a comfy sweatshirt/guernsey thing for myself.
Not entirely sure what that's going to mean, though. Maybe a tunic-style pullover without any hip ribbing, very little ease at the cuff too, with a rolled hem. Now to figure out how to do that latter, and to make some swatches.
A bit about the yarn first, though. It's a hardish cotton, 4-ply yarn dyed with a natural indigo which will fade over time. So the white stripes I first thought about just won't work. But it could be fun to see what I can get away with... maybe charcoal stripes?
