Feature Pattern of the Week - Alloy

Alloy by Michele Wang,
Brooklyn Tweed Shelter, colors Fossil & Cast Iron
Alloy by talented designer Michele Wang takes the basic textured pullover to new places with modern color-blocked inserts that give the piece a unique, couture look. This polished piece still maintains a rustic luxury knit in Brooklyn Tweed’s epic Shelter yarn. Shelter is a worsted weight, woolen-spun yarn that manages to be warm, yet lightweight at the same time. The yarn is spun from 100% American Targhee-Columbia wool.
Available in a wide array of gorgeous tweeds & marled colorways, Shelter blooms beautifully when blocked & knits into garments that will last a lifetime.
Here are the materials you will need to knit this special sweater:
