Lady Georgiana's Jumper is knitted using Excelana North DK weight a light DK weight yarn, worsted spun for a soft handle, and works exquisitely for Fair Isle projects as well as textured and lace stitches. Dyed in-house by Susan and her team. Shown here in shade Eau de Nil, the perfect yarn to show off the lace pattern to good effect and to help the garment retain its shape.

The pattern includes instructions for ten sizes to fit chest measurements between 81cm (32in) and 157cm (62in) and contains clear written instructions plus a comprehensive schematic diagram and sizing chart.
