Inspiration for this design came from a desire to own a sweater that is incredibly comfortable and comforting to wear, whilst at the same time looking and feeling fabulously luxurious. Hug is designed to be the perfect sweater for throwing on when you’re feeling a bit chilly, under the weather or in need of a snuggle, without sacrificing style in the process. It’s designed to be highly customisable, so that you can tailor the garment to suit your own personal preferences and ultimately create your perfect Hug.

Yarn
Hug is worked with 2 strands of yarn held together throughout: one strand of fingering / sock weight yarn and one strand of mohair. Consider putting together contrasting, unexpected or just plain fabulous combinations of colour!
