Last week I finished knitting this tunic from Twilleys Freedom Purity pattern book 466 and using Twilley’s Freedom Purity yarn which is a natural eco friendly yarn – a mix of new wool (85%) and alpaca (15%).

The pattern was very easy to follow and I didn’t come across any mistakes.  I particular like the bit of cabling on the sleeves. The whole jacket was pretty quick to knit and fits well.  I think I shall probably wear it over a long sleeved t-shirt as the weather gets colder.

Twilleys Freedom Purity is a wonderful new ‘Eco’ yarn. This soft yarn is available in natural, earthy colours which are formed by the careful blending of natural undyed wool with alpaca. The hypo-allergenic qualities of the Alpaca combine with the Virgin wool to create a beautiful high quality yarn that is just fabulous to knit with; creating one of the finest chunky yarns on the market.  At just £3.10 a ball, it’s excellent value too.

There are some really nice patterns for the Purity yarn as well, some available as individual pattern sheets (£2.50) and others in a booklet which contains 12 designs (£6.50).  Look at the shop website for more pictures and details of the patterns.
