Lett is an incredibly luxurious and beautiful yarn made of mohair and silk. I chose to knit the jacket using 4 strands held together on thick needles, something I’m pretty sure I’ll do again because this jacket was incredibly easy to fall in love with. I started with a few stitches at the back of the neck and worked my way down. The jacket has a collar that rises slightly at the back of the neck, providing a little extra warmth.
