Yarn Kit - Peach Fuzz by Melanie Berg
Hand Dyed
The Peach Fuzz jumper is a design that is very personal to Melanie. Working through this design having beaten cancer, she says about Peach Fuzz:
“It’s about beating cancer, about inching back into a normal life after finishing therapy, about regaining strength, confidence - and hair! I love that peach fuzz, and while I think it looks funny, I’m just totally embracing it. This sweater could not possibly have any other name!”
A boxy comfortable fit, fun colour blocking and a very flattering neckline, you will practically live in this jumper as soon as it is done. This is a simple knit, perfect for the aspiring beginner, still the play of colour makes it so much fun and will keep your interest going, you will have the jumper knit up in no-time.
Sizes 1-7: Measurements given are for the finished garment. The sweater is designed to fit with about 8” / 20 cm of positive ease at the bust, less for larger sizes.
(40.25, 44, 47.75) (51.5) (53.75, 57.5, 61.25)“ / (101, 110, 119) (128.5) (134.5, 144, 153) cm at the bust
At Knit with attitude we were so lucky to be test knitting the design before its release, and found that Fyberspates Vivacious DK is the perfect yarn for Peach Fuzz. In 100% Merino it is super-soft and its good twist will make your stitches slide with ease. The gorgeous hand dyed shades will really make the colour blocking pop! Maya did hers on 3.5mm needles to reach gauge and chose the colours Smokey Joe, Sea Glass, Oatmeal and Peach Bellini, pictured in Kit #01.
The Peach Fuzz Yarn Kit can be bought with or without the pattern, in addition you'll need circular needles size 3mm - 4mm / US4 - US6 80-100cm/32-40” (use shorter circulars, double pointed needles or the Magic Loop method for your sleeves), 4 stitch markers and a darning needle for weaving in your ends.
