Instant Crush is a seamless, top-down, colorwork pullover worked using only 2 strands of silk/mohair yarn throughout the entire project.
Even though it is a colorwork project and the fabric warm & thick (equivalent to a DK/8ply weight), this sweater is light as air due to the choice of fibres used in the design.
The colorwork motifs are fully charted for all sizes.

Before you measure, please take the time to wash and block your swatch in the same manner that you will wash and block your sweater. Take into consideration that double stranded mohair creates a fabric with fewer rows per inch than other fabrics.
Also, make sure your colors don’t bleed when in contact with soap. Read the Finishing section for some tips if this happens.
Hand-dyed in small batches in Tasmania.
The beauty and nature of hand dyed yarn is that every skein is unique and individual. Even within the same dye batch variations between skeins can occur.
We therefore recommend alternating skeins within your projects to ensure an optimal finish and colour blending.
Please also ensure you buy enough yarn for your project at the time of purchase, as colours can vary between dye batches.
Our hand dyed yarns have been washed to remove excess dye, however some residual dye may remain, particularly in dark and saturated colourways.
It is recommended to gently hand wash your hand dyed projects in cold water.
Wool wash or a mild detergent may be used.
We recommend blocking and drying garments flat and not tumble drying.
