A man's pullover designed and knitted on a flat bed machine by Linda Brockway using over twenty shades of wool.

The pullover has a crew neck and ribbing at the bottom and at the wrist of the sleeves. The body and the sleeves are knitted with rows of lozenges, each row in a different colour.

Linda Brockway called this design 'Kaleidoscope' when she first started making them in October 1984. The pullover has a printed label:

'Individually made by Linda Brockway...' and a printed card 'Linda Brockway Knitwear ...Price £40.50, Size Medium, Kaleidoscope, Individually machine knitted in the home of the designer using twenty muted colours of Shetland Wool. An ever-changing selection of colours and different starting points ensures each garment is unique'.

Described by the Linda Brockway as "the best selling design of everything I have done."
