Freddie Jumper
This sweet little sweater is perfect for any baby. I’ve made it here using traditional ‘boy’ colours but it is of course completely unisex so have fun with your own colour combinations. The jumper is knitted from the top down and in the round. I have carried the yarns all the way as I honestly couldn’t bring myself to deal with all those ends but do whatever seems right to you. The left shoulder has an opening to make it easy to get the sweater over baby’s head. I’ve used poppers to fasten this, but you could easily add a couple of buttons if you prefer.

Washing
Plump Superchunky and Plump DK are made from the highest quality superfine merino and baby alpaca. These really are special and luxurious fibres and should be treated carefully! Having said that both yarns are suitable for delicate hand washing. Use a specialist detergent and do not agitate or twist the fibres to retain the gorgeous softness and shape of your garment.
Shedding
Because of the roving nature of our yarns (they are single ply, rather than tightly twisted), some shedding may occur. The best way to deal with this is spray your finished garment with water and leave to dry flat, naturally before the first wearing. This sets the fibres and should stop any problems. If you want any further advice just drop us a line at [email protected]
Using your yarn
All our yarn comes in skeins. Before using you need to wind the skein into a ball or you will get into an awful tangled mess! If you are not sure how to do this you can watch our video here!
