Martin Storey Moorhouse Pullover Kit in Rowan Lima - Machu PicchuOver the past few years, Martin Storey has become one of our favorite Rowan designers. The creative mind behind the Rowan Classics line, Martin has been a frequent contributor to the Rowan Magazines for over a decade. From Dalesmen published in 2011 we are pleased to present Moorhouse, a wonderful cabled pullover knit in Rowan's amazing Lima yarn. Lima is an aran weight blend of 84% baby alpaca, 8% merino wool, and 8% nylon that knits up quickly and is so soft it just begs to be touched. Although the yarn appears dense when knit, it is amazingly light weight given its chained construction. Perfect for color work, Lima shows off cable and other stitch designs perfectly. Moorhouse is one of Martin's showcases for the yarn. With deep cables set in moss stitch panels, a fabulous shawl collar, and single button closure, the design is both classic and contemporary. Moorhouse is the perfect boyfriend sweater or holiday gift for that special man in your life. Plan to borrow it and wear it yourself (we think the design would be equally striking on a woman). Fortunately Lima wears incredibly well, because once he feels it we doubt he will ever want to take it off. We offer the design in Machu Picchu Shade 855, deeply heathered rust that is the essence of fall. The sweater features simple shaping, set in sleeves, and that amazing shawl collared neckline. The pattern can be made in any of 7 sizes -- SX (chest/bust 38), S (chest/bust 40), M (chest/bust 42), L (chest/bust 44), XL (chest/bust 46), XXL (chest/bust 48), or 2XL (chest/bust 50). The pattern specifies a
gauge
of 20 stitches and 26 rows in moss stitch to 4 inches (10 cm) on US 9 (5.5 mm) needles. The design will work up quickly and become an instant classic.
