Description

I've hand knit The Supersized Hug in Rowan's Kidsilk Haze Trio, which comprises three strands of Rowan's ever popular Kidsilk Haze spun together to make a beautiful soft and lightweight yarn. Trio offers all the softness of Kidsilk Haze in a heavier yet lightweight yarn with an amazingly soft handle and pretty mohair halo. The colour of this piece is 'Alder', which is a mix of rich blue, a green blue and pale cream. I've created shaping around the shoulders so that it sits happily over your arms but still gives you room to move them. The form that the cape if modelled on here has a 38 inch (96.5cm bust) - to give you some idea of fit - this cape would be perfect for a UK size 12 dress size. Measurements: Depth from neck to bottom edge measured through the centre is 26.5 inches or 67cm Length from top of shoulder to bottom edge is 17 inches or 43cm Circumference around the neck is 24 inches 62cm Circumference around the bottom hem is 52 inches 130cm The shipping costs shown for this item include the 'signed for' service in the UK and a tracking service for International orders. Please note that I do automatically refund postal cost overages for international items.

A note from the seller

Hello and welcome to my Folksy shop! I've been making for others since 2013 and if you'd like to see what my customers have said about my work since then (before I opened up here on Folksy), you can read more than 1,000 reviews on my web site: http://www.thecrimsonrabbit.co.uk/ (click 'Reviews' on the bar at the top of the page). In addition to the UK, I'm happy to ship most items to the US, Canada, Japan and Australia - just message me for a shipping quotation if a shipping price isn't shown against an item you're interested in. Many of the pieces I make are made to order and the shipping time is a 'worse case scenario' estimate - I will often make and send items quicker than indicated, although things do sometimes slow down at busy times. If you want something urgently, just message me and I'll confirm if I can meet your deadline. I send most of my items via Royal Mail's Tracked 48 service, unless otherwise indicated on the item's listing.

When you need a big warm hug, this caplet or poncho will give you one! Looks great worn over crew or polo neck top or jumper, or maybe a nice white shirt. The piece is a supersized longer version of my own original design for a short shoulder cosy, which you can also find in my shop.
