En Español
Las Asclepias (o algodoncillo) son un género de herbáceas perennes celebradas por su habilidad de atraer bandadas de polinizadores, incluyendo mariposas, polillas, abejas y avispas. Son las famosas plantas de las que las larvas de mariposas monarca se alimentan. Las flores de estas plantas pueden ser blancas, rosas o naranjas dependiendo de la variedad. Este diseño de jersey plasma la asclepia que es nativa de Alabama – comúnmente llamada hierba mariposa. En los húmedos veranos del Sur, estas flores naranjas pueden ser vistas moteando matorrales y rodeando los pinos y los bosques caducifolios.
Milkweed es un diseño de jersey con un canesú de punto Jacquard (o colorwork) en lana de grosor fingering. Tejido de arriba abajo (Top-Down) y en circular, el patrón también incluye opción de dar forma a la cintura y costuras laterales además de poder elegir entre manga larga o manga corta. Elije entre un elástico de borde enrollado o uno simple.
