Wednesdays at Baaad Anna’s are synonymous with creativity, and today, we’re diving into the WIP (Work in Progress) of our talented staff member. Meet the Tutka Pullover, a seamless, top-down wonder that’s currently taking shape with the exquisite Mailles à Part Nuage d’alpaga yarn.

Crafted seamlessly from the top down in the round, the short rows enhance the fit and grace the back neck, while lace and bobble details add a touch of sweetness. The magic of this pattern lies in its adaptability; the length of the body and sleeves is yours to customize. And if cardigans are more your style, there’s even a version to explore!

For this particular masterpiece, our staff member chose our new Mailles à Part Nuage d’alpaga – a lace-weight yarn made of brushed baby Suri alpaca with a mulberry silk core. This gem is a dream for those sensitive to mohair, providing a bit more thickness while maintaining the luxurious softness. Hand-dyed in Quebec, Canada, this yarn is a visual and tactile delight, offering a palette of muted elegance that creates an incredibly soft and lightweight fabric. The pattern’s flexibility allows for experimentation with various yarn weights, making it a playground for creative exploration.
