Trilogy Sweater Kit
Hold three strands of yarn together for a quick-knit sweater! We love the way our Abstract cakes look when held with two strands of semi-solid yarn. The flecks of color jump in and out in a fabulous marled fabric. Because you're knitting with three strands held together, you'll be knitting at a bulky weight gauge. Soft, warm, and it will be knit up in a jiffy.
This sweater is designed to have positive ease. Please see notes below before you choose your size.
"For this sweater I wanted a cozy, quick knit that could be an everyday sweater. I loved the first version I knit SO MUCH that I decided to knit another, and another…..the options of holding different yarn weights either single, double or triple provide a unique opportunity to play around with yarns of different weights and colors!"--from the designer
Please note: All dyed-to-order yarns take 6-8 weeks to deliver.
