AVFKW x Thea Colman - The Hard Cider Sweater Bundle

"Hard Cider is meant to be a 'wear-everywhere-sweater'. Inspired by the yarn, once I had it in my hands, the lightweight rambouillet-alpaca blend, and this gorgeous colorway Spice - a variety of deep but subtle shifts of amber-brown, were elements I envisioned in a garment that could work in multiple seasons, with a number of different outfits!

I just loved the soothing feel of the yarn when worked in stockinette, which also allowed the beautiful natural colors to remain visible. I think a classic raglan pullover is easy to wear, as well as to tailor for your body or wardrobe - and when paired with a couple of delicate staggered lace repeats for just a bit of texture on the lower body, it's the perfect combination of easy and interesting that I love to both knit and own." --Thea

When working with yarn dyed with indigo, it is common and natural for the blue dye to rub off on one’s hands while sewing. This is called crocking. Although the goods have been washed, it takes pressured contact to release the extra indigo dye. Your handwork is part of the indigo dyeing process. The blue dye can be removed with hot water and soap. From working closely with indigo dyed materials through the making process, typically, the excess dye has been removed, and the crocking will cease.
