Wool blend "felted" knit in an amazing ombre houndstooth pattern that fades from charcoal to mustard. So unique and a dream to work with!
Tell us about your project!
I made my first "test" Morris Blazer, out of a stable knit I had in my stash, as directed in the pattern. It fit perfectly, but a bit short for a cozy fall blazer.
For this wool version, I lengthened the body pieces by 3 inches and the sleeves by 6 inches. The fabric was amazing to work with and created such a stunning Morris Blazer.
This project challenged me to keep working on matching patterns and thinking about how I want them to appear on the finished garment. That allowed me to create the garment almost exactly as I had envisioned it.
Check out my blog posts for more details about lengthening the pattern and notes about the process.
