Meltdown sweater is an original design by Tante EHM for Biscotte Yarns - "It’s the perfect sweater to showcase your delectable hand-dyed yarns! Especially when you have more than one favourite colour. It’s a boxy pullover with a round yoke, knit from the top down. The purl panel blurs the colour transitions while adding interesting texture. Bracelet length sleeves emphasize the slightly cropped, boxy fit of the sweater. Folded hems finish all the edges for a sleek, minimal look”.
