When isn't the Deep South either preparing for winter or in the middle of winter? Haven't had too much chance to really get back into my sewing/crafts since the school term started but am anticipating being able to have a bit of a crafts-fest during the term break. LOL. :) xxxxxxMargarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16840286029806978593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-62101374760159110522016-03-25T22:13:56.200+13:002016-03-25T22:13:56.200+13:00Thanks so much xxThanks so much xxFabric Tragichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183274071484362265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-22730453592317680562016-03-25T19:54:50.196+13:002016-03-25T19:54:50.196+13:00Nawww, thanks so much Erin!!Nawww, thanks so much Erin!!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384277110904485746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-45003604621738902502016-03-25T19:53:05.939+13:002016-03-25T19:53:05.939+13:00I can't believe he's 10months either!!

Yep, it's 100% merino, and even without the lycra, it's actually really stretchy (and has a good recovery to boot!), so I didn't need to size up. <br /><br />I guess the annoying thing about any knits is that you never really know how stretchy they might be, especially when buying on the internet. Even a knit with the same fabric content could be knit together in a different fashion, made thicker, dyed differently, printed, have a pattern knit into the fibres etc, which can all effect the stretchiness of the fabric. This merino is thin, so that also definitely played a role in making it less bulky and a little more stretchy.<br /><br />As long as the fabric has 40% stretch, you should be okay, but if you were worried, it's better to size up than not.<br /><br />Hope that really long winded answer helps :)<br /><br />xxJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384277110904485746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-44079916258591120482016-03-25T10:19:35.559+13:002016-03-25T10:19:35.559+13:00Cute Bronte, cute haircut, and cute Felicity!!Cute Bronte, cute haircut, and cute Felicity!!Miss Crayola Creepyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583631880324389549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-51692522175344430722016-03-25T09:35:30.777+13:002016-03-25T09:35:30.777+13:00This is very pretty.

Did you have to size up due to the lack of Lycra content (actually I'm assuming it has no Lycra) - I've found a few merino tops I've made have been a bit snug as I haven't factored that in......Fabric Tragichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183274071484362265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-89687565786346520542016-03-25T09:19:05.714+13:002016-03-25T09:19:05.714+13:00Gorgeous top & skirt.
