Winter’s salt marsh provides beautiful contrast to surrounding water and sky, and these complex colors provided the inspiration for Salt Marsh Pullover. Everything about this pullover was a mixture of things: slip stitch mixed with variegated yarn, Merino mixed with yak and silk, and one section of a pattern mixed with bands of another.
