Description
Things you need to know

Sets will be dyed following the pre-order and should be sent by the end of May. Each set’s dyed yarn will be from the same dye batch, but dye batches may vary between sets. The yarn in each set includes an additional allowance so that there should be more than enough yarn to allow for knitting a little extra length or minor pattern modifications – however it will still be important to knit to gauge to be sure the sweater can be completed. The Undyed Cream and Silver shown in the photos are the previous batch of Shetland Heavy 4ply – the latest batch, just completed spinning, is due back from the mill shortly and is expected to have similar undyed shades.

Yarn:

The pattern requires four colours of fingering weight/4 ply yarn. Emily ( who designs as Flutterbyknits) recommends using a 100% wool worsted spun yarn, such as Shetland Heavy 4ply/Sport.
