This sweater is worked top down in the round.

Morgentau means Morning Dew in German and since I made this design in collaboration with a German dyer I was fixated on having the name in German.

When hiking in the crisp morning I love seeing the morning dew, it makes my brain pop…

The yarn I used is so fluffy and light that it´s a real delight wearing it. If looking at meters versus grams it´s a sport weight but it has such beautiful filling that it knit´s up perfectly as a worsted or aran weight…
