Wear this when you want to highlight your face and shoulders with a very special yarn.

Yoke is handspun art yarn by Cindy Bennett of STUDIOLOO, colourway: Royal Persona, the body is Diamond Luxury BABY ALPACA ARAN, colour: 2214
I had purchased the handspun at a Knitter’s Frolic years ago and was waiting for the right project to use it. I was storing some leftover Diamond Baby Alpaca, when I noticed how well the colours went together. So I dew up something that would combine the two in a way that highlighted the handspun. I like to do one piece designs that are worked from sleeve to sleeve and this worked out well with the yoke as the feature.
Any aran would work for the body, but you need a special, thick, art yarn for the yoke.
