The pattern and yarn to make this wonderfully warm and chunky Jacket is sent to you with gift bag, care instructions and alpaca story.
Knitting is the most popular craft hobby in the UK. This wonderful pastime is being taken up by celebrities, youngsters, people from both sexes and all ethnicities.
The Purl Alpaca Designs products are exclusive, design-led and upmarket. Our fleece is sourced from local breeders (and our own herd); it is hand sorted and graded before being made into yarn by a specialist spinning mill. Only the best quality is used and we blend the natural fibres to create our wonderful colour range. We don’t dye the yarn. Environmentally aware; even our packaging is made from recycled materials.
Glacier is a seriously warm winter jacket made especially for our Chunky yarn. It is much easier to make than it looks and with thick yarn and big needles – it’ll grow quickly and be ready to wear faster than you’d think. The top of the body and sleeves are made in one piece which is later attached to the bottom of the body. With the moss stitch edging and fabulous collar, Glacier will be a highly versatile garment which will quickly become a favourite.
