Dissent Pullover: Yarn Choices & Fabric
I’ve knit four Dissent Pullover samples, so I thought it would be nice to give you a little video showing the fabric of each one close up. This can help if you’re trying to decide on yarn, or even what style of yarn you want to choose. This sweater works really well for a variety of fingering weight yarns like:
Mohair/silk held together with a lighter strand of wool like my version in Julie Asselin Anatolia and Nutured Fine (a wonderful Canadian brand).
Superwash sock yarns that aren’t too languid or draping like Neighborhood Fiber Company Studio Sock that I used with Fleece Artist Merino Slim, a variegated singles. Neighborhood Fiber Company is a brilliant Black-owned US yarn company and Fleece Artist is a Canadian company.
Woolen spun Shetland yarn like Jamieson’s Ultra that offers incredible loftiness and is a more affordable option.
Classic worsted spun non-superwash wool like Quince & Co. Finch, which is also a lower priced option and is grown and manufactured in the US.
