Cesium Bundles – Sachiko Burgin & Green Mountain Spinnery

Cesium Bundles – Sachiko Burgin & Green Mountain Spinnery

Cesium by Sachiko Burgin caught our eye in Issue 19 of Pom Pom Quarterly, so we had to make one ourselves! The original sample is knitted in Green Mountain Spinnery’s Mountain Mohair in colourway ‘Ice Blue’, but we chose to make ours in the wonderful white ‘Edelweiss’. Bundles in these colourways are both available here! Make sure to also pick up a copy of the magazine at a discounted price here.

Bundles:

• Sachiko’s Original – Mountain Mohair in colourway Ice Blue (light blue)
• Fig Tree’s Choice – Mountain Mohair in colourway Edelweiss (white)

A copy of Pom Pom Quarterly Issue 19 is available at a discounted price. View the pattern on Ravelry here.
