EXP Sweater Kit - Kelo

Our Kelo two-colour kit for Sanna & Co's EXP Sweater includes both the yarn & pattern to make this stunning design. 

Kits will be dyed-to-order and will ship within 14 days.

We are pleased to have collaborated with Australian knitting podcast Purlfect Pairings and knitwear designer Susanna Kaartinen of Sanna & Co, to create nine kit options for Susanna's gorgeous EXP Sweater.

The EXP Sweater

The EXP Sweater is a reversible, cropped, 3/4 sleeved design with a fun design, which is as fun to knit as it is to wear.

It has a unique shaping with a subtle batwing shape.  It is knit top down and in the round.  After completing the folded collar and yoke, body and sleeves are worked separately and in the round.  As a final step, raglan panels are grafted together to close the side seams.

It is worked primarily in Two-colour Shaker Stitch, with alternating rounds of Yarn A as Main colour (MC) and Yarn B for a two-colour version as a Contrast colour (CC).

(Alternatively it can be knit in a fade sequence using Yarns B-E for the Contrast colour, for which we have separate fade version kits).

Beginning of collar and ribbed hem and cuffs are worked with Yarn A only.

***

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.
