Yarn package for the Dala Sweater by Elenor Mortensen.

The Dala Sweater is knitted with a playfully traditional horse pattern in the yoke. Dala horses are a traditional Christmas motif in Scandinavia. In the past, Dala horses were carved during long winter nights and given as Christmas toys. 

You knit your Dala Sweater seamlessly from the top down in the round. The sweater is knitted with Pinta by Pascuali, a fine merino and silk yarn that feels wonderfully soft and drapes beautifully.
