Two of Wands/Self-draft
Autumn x Eclair
Completed: March 2023
Yarn: One strand of Holst Garn Supersoft held with one strand of Drops Kid Silk
Yarn colours: Conker (Holst) and Dark brown (Drops)
Size: S?*
*I made quite a few modifications. I followed part of the pattern from Two of Wands called “Autumn League Pullover”. The inspiration for open sides comes from a pattern called the “Eclair” by Karin Fernandes.
Post-wear thoughts
Likes
Lightweight feel; drapey fabric.
I like that the silk core of the Drops Kid Silk is not brown like the main yarn and adds a heather-like appearance.
The raglan shaping fits me very well and I will continue to always use/source the Autumn League Pullover pattern.
Dislikes
The Drops Kid Silk is not next-to-skin soft for me and requires I wear a thin layer underneath.
I made the yoke depth too deep so it bunches up when I wear a backpack.
