Hand Knitting Pattern: Pullover

Yarn weight: Aran (8 wpi) and Super Bulky (5-6 wpi)
Suggested Yarn: Studioloo Handspun Art Yarn, Knit Collage Cast Away, Diamond Luxury Baby Alpaca Aran, Rico Design Luxury Alpaca Superfine Aran

Wear this when you want to highlight your face and shoulders with a very special yarn.
An easy knit worked sideways, sleeve cuff to sleeve cuff, and with back and front the same. The yoke is then picked up and worked in the round with the super bulky handspun yarn.
Yoke is handspun art yarn by Cindy Bennett of Studioloo, OOAK colourway: Royal Persona. The body is Diamond Luxury Baby Alpaca Aran.
This design combines the two yarns in a way that highlightes the handspun in the yoke as the feature.
Any Aran weight would work for the body, but you need a special, thick, art yarn for the yoke.
