DK or Aran-like Price:
£2.00 (includes
2nd class postage within UK | |
Description:
Traditional cabled sweaters in a choice
of yarn weight. The pattern is pretty well-worn with creasing, small tears,
sellotape and marks - but this does not affect the instructions. "Tripleknit" is a worsted or aran weight yarn (between a DK and a bulkier yarn) which appeared in all the main manufacturers product lines in the 1960s; although more or less a worsted weight it did not seem to become popular enough to gain the traction in the UK to replace double knitting as the standard yarn.
