"Fire Lily is a top-down round yoke sweater elegantly designed with stranded colourwork inspired by the native South African plant known for its striking appearance. This pattern represents a fusion of natural beauty and knitting artistry, capturing the essence of the Fire Lily through intricate design and rich colours, and ensures a unique combination of aesthetic appeal and knitting satisfaction. It is also is an opportunity to engage with colour as the charted design plays out in your favourite colour choices. As you undertake this project, you will enjoy creating something that is not only a garment but a reflection of natural beauty and artisanal craftsmanship." 

It was a bit tricky to optimise kits for all the sweater sizes - the bundles generally contain sufficient yarn (buffer included), but you may want to spread your colour breaks slightly differently for the larger sizes (bearing in mind that CC3 uses more yarn than CC1 due to the incremental shaping of the yoke section). CC totals are estimated at 265 (290, 310, 350, 385, 410, 420, 445) m or 289 (317, 339, 382, 421, 448, 459, 486) y.

MC totals are estimated at 1225 (1345, 1435, 1575, 1690, 1830, 1935, 2070) m / 1340 (1470, 1570, 1725, 1850, 2000, 2120, 2265) y.

The original sample made use of MC Cool Pebble and CC Gloriosa fade set, all on the Lofty Plied base (100g lofty plied - 100% South African merinp superwash, 350m / 383 y). There are many other fingering weight bases included, reflecting various textural and fiber blends.

Care Instructions: For long term fibre and colour care a gentle, PH neutral detergent (preferably natural/organic) and cold water rinse is recommended. Refrain from excessive wringing. Dry flat, avoiding prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight.
