Christmas Jumper Designs

And The Perfect Yarn

When knitting a sweater is better to choose animal fibers like wool and cashmere. 

For a quick knit, the chunky/bulky/12 ply yarn or super bulky/super chunky/14 ply yarn is the best choice.

Using this weight of yarn will allow you to knit up a sweater quickly.
