Espalier is a top-down seamless raglan sweater featuring a bold colourwork motif on the lower part of the body and sleeves. The colourwork portion of the pattern is worked one colour at a time, resulting in a zig-zag pattern that stands out beautifully from the rest of the fabric. Anatomically curved raglan lines and optional bust darts ensure an excellent fit while the contrasting ribbing at the neckline, hem and cuffs provides an elegant finish.

BC Garn's Semilla Melange is a wonderful organic allrounder yarn. It's 100% wool, and woollen-spun, which makes it lofty and warm at the same time.
Semilla Melange is GOTS certified, which ensures the highest organic standards when it comes to how the fiber is grown, washed, spun, and dyed. The fleeces come from mulesing-free farms in South America, the spinning and dyeing is done in Turkey. Like all our yarns, it's non-superwash and plastic-free.
Semilla Melange is also a wonderful companion to our favorite color-changing yarn Zauberwolle and the delightfully fluffy Bérénice!
