Relaxed fit, squishy brioche fabric and an interesting play with colour and texture, what more could you want from a brioche knit!
The name overlay refers to the 2 layers of colour and pattern, overlaid on top of each other. By creating colour changes to each layer individually, you get an interesting interplay of colour and texture.
In this design, the background colour is split into two panels horizontally and the foreground colour is split into two panels vertically. Together they create 4 different colour combinations in an effect similar to woven fabrics.
You also have the option of creating either a sweater or vest.

All yarns are hand dyed in small batches using professional quality acid dyes and heat set to ensure colours that will last.
Every effort has been made to remove any excess dye from the yarn, however a little may remain, particularly with dark and rich colours. It is therefore recommended to gently hand wash your hand dyed projects on their own, in cold water, with wool wash or a mild detergent.
Shipping will be calculated at checkout.
