Alma Cardigan Fade Kit - Chai & Mint

Our Chai & Mint Alma Cardigan Kit includes both the yarn & pattern needed to make this beautiful design with the colourwork motif in a three colour fade.  This is the original kit Susanna used for her cardigan sample.

We are pleased to have collaborated with talented knitwear designer Susanna Kaartinen of Sanna & Co, to create 11 kit options for her gorgeous new Alma Cardigan design in Louie & Lola Merino Possum DK.

The Alma Cardigan Sweater

Knit in our Merino Possum DK yarn, this colourwork cardigan features a scandinavian style colourwork pattern along the hem and sleeves.

It is worked from the bottom up in the round and is steeked at the end!

It has a relaxed boxy fit, with raglan shaping and a v-neckline.

This pattern is named after Susanna's niece, Alma.

***

All yarns are hand dyed in small batches using professional quality acid dyes and heat set to ensure colours that will last.

Every effort has been made to remove any excess dye from the yarn, however a little may remain, particularly with dark and rich colours.  It is therefore recommended to gently hand wash your hand dyed projects on their own, in cold water, with wool wash or a mild detergent.

Shipping will be calculated at checkout.
