Note: The entire garment can be made with 32” needles. Using 32” needles, you will have to use Magic Loop for the sleeves, cuffs, and neckline. To avoid Magic Loop on the sleeves and neckline, use a 16” circular needle. To avoid Magic Loop on the cuffs, use a set of DPNs.
Fiber Content Note: Dream TWEED colors Flamingo, Blacksmith and Stardust have different fiber content: 82% merino, 13% wool, 5% viscose.
Care: Dry clean or hand wash cold, lay flat to dry. Please test any washing/drying method on a small swatch to ensure you like the end result. Note that exposing wool to heat (hot water) or agitation (machine washing) will cause it to felt.
