Matcha and Lapsang by Lisa Richardson

The 7th of my spring knits is again a design by Lisa Richardson. It is from the Rowan Tetra Cotton brochure like the 1st of my spring knits, Oolong.

I have to say, this sweater is one of my this years favourite and I wear it on and on and on. I also have washed it in my washing machine several times and it fits and fits and fits. Love it.

The second design I knitted with this yarn is Matcha. Lisa used a dark shade of Tetra Cotton and a contrasting light colour for the cross stitch embroidery on the raglan yoke.

Now I’m not into dark colours and so I decided to use shade Idra from Tetra Cotton as the main colour and the dark shade Lugano for the embroidery.

Here is the result:
