Sunde Pullover & Sleeveless Top - Kit 4 - Red Hearth + Salmon Run PRE-ORDER

Sunde plays with stripes and their directionality. “Sunde” is the Inari Saami word for direction. The all-over striped pullover is knitted flat, sideways from the centre out: first the back panels and then the fronts.

The sleeves are picked up around the armscyes and shaped with short rows. The ribbed V-neck, hem and cuffs are worked in the round and edged in a contrasting colour. 

The indie version of this pattern includes both a pullover (long sleeve) and sleeveless top version and optional bust darts and was part of The Bendigo Project 2025.

MERINO SILK YAK FINGERING

Weight: Sock / Fingering / 4 ply
Fibre: 60% Superwash Merino / 20% Silk / 20% Yak
Meterage:  366m / weight 100gm
Gauge: 27-32sts to 10cm using 2.5mm - 3mm needles.
Characteristics: Luxuriously silky and drapey, with good twist and a stunning natural grey-brown base colour due to the yak content.
Use: Perfect for shawls and other delicate garments. 
Care: Although spun using a superwash merino the yak fibres are very short and this yarn would felt if washed in a machine so we recommend treating it as you would a non- superwash yarn.

Hand-dyed in small batches in Tasmania.

The beauty and nature of hand dyed yarn is that every skein is unique and individual. Even within the same dye batch variations between skeins can occur.

We therefore recommend alternating skeins within your projects to ensure an optimal finish and colour blending.

Please also ensure you buy enough yarn for your project at the time of purchase, as colours can vary between dye batches.

Our yarns come twisted in a skein and will need to be wound into a cake before knitting. You can do that yourself or have it done by us using our Cake Your Yarn service.

Hand wash only as this kit features non-superwash yarn.

Our hand dyed yarns have been washed to remove excess dye, however some residual dye may remain, particularly in dark and saturated colourways. 

It is recommended to gently hand wash your hand dyed projects in cold water.

Wool wash or a mild detergent may be used.

We recommend blocking and drying garments flat and not tumble drying.
