This sweater is made from 100% tunis fleece. I hand carded clean tunis wool and spun very thin single with a medium amount of twist. I plied the singles to create extremely soft 2ply baby yarn. I knitted this baby sweater using a free pattern downloaded from the internet.(the 5 hour baby sweater) I made some small changes when knitting the arms, but otherwise stuck to the pattern. The pattern included instructions for baby sizes and premie sizes. The sweater was shown at the New York State Sheep and Wool Show and placed 4th, a skein of matching wool placed 2nd. The sweater was made for a very special little boy Nathaniel Jefferson Belger that arrived into the world very early.
