Moonstruck Jumper
I loved this jumper so much that I asked Karen to make one for me! Mine is the main photo and Karens' is below, all we need to do now is make sure we are not wearing them at the same time! It's knitted top down and is simple stranded colourwork. There are instructions for making it longer and also making the sleeves narrower.

The sweater is designed with lots of positive ease making it loose and boxy. The jumper shown on the front is size M/L

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!
