Alto Cumulus
Alto Cumulus is the newest version of the popular "Cumulus" line by Juniper Moon.
Like the aran weight cousin, this 93% cotton is spun in a way that allows for a big gauge without the density that a traditionally spun cotton would yield. So quick knit, soft and cozy, but light! And with a bit of texture.
From soft baby pastels to some fun neon colors.
A popular pattern for this yarn is "Karla's Sweater" on Ravelry. The pattern isn't written for this yarn, but for this gauge and I've seen several unexpected color combinations that are really fun for the summer! We decided to knit the store model using just 2 colors instead of 3 to see if we could show you a way to reduce the skeins required. But because we knit the large size (pattern says it is 44", but the actual sweater Chris knit is 46" at the chest) used 5 skeins - 3 of the main and 2 of the contrast. But if you are knitting the medium or small you could certainly do it in 2 colors with just 2 of the main color. And....if you want to knit the large size, since you need 5 balls anyway, you could do the sweater in 3 colors as the original pattern suggests and NOT limit yourself to 2 colors the way we did in an effort to cut out a ball!!
