Journey Pullover

Journey Pullover kits [are available at North Bay Fiber][1]. *Designed by Jill Zielinski ([Knitterell](person)) for North Bay Fiber.* The Journey Pullover is our idea of the perfect weekend sweater. We wanted a cozy sweater with a roomy fit—something you reach for again and again when you just want to be comfy but still look great. The result is this classic raglan in our new Journey yarn. Its lustrous sheen and cushy hand creates the most beautiful fabric. Better yet, this 100% Romney wool finishes with the softest halo. This stunning fabric and simple, timeless design will withstand the test of time in your handknit wardrobe. **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) **FINISHED BUST CIRCUMFERENCE MEASUREMENTS** Approx 38 (42, 46, 50, 54, 58, 62, 66, 70, 75)" / 95 (105, 115, 125, 135, 145, 155, 165, 175, 187.5)cm *Suggested ease range: 8–12” / 20-30cm of positive ease at chest.
