Product Details

Valley Yarns Leicester is a lovely textured gender-neutral raglan pullover knit in Amherst. The body and sleeves of the sweater are worked in the round from the bottom up and then joined at the yoke. The neckband stitches are picked up along the neckline and knit in the round. Valley Yarns Amherst is a smooth worsted weight yarn that beautifully shows texture and stitch patterns and has a wide range of perfect colors for Fair Isle or intarsia.
