Catalina – Project Kit (Pre-Order)
Catalina – Project Kit (Pre-Order)
Note: This item is available for pre-order until September 18 only. Project Kits will ship approximately September 28.
Vertical columns of stylish eyelets make the Catalina sweater as fun to knit as it is to wear. A crew neckline, set-in sleeves, and relaxed fit give it an easy, understated elegance that pairs naturally with anything in your closet.
We are delighted to introduce this design using mYak’s Fior Di Lino yarn, a beautifully soft blend of Tibetan wool, Tibetan baby yak, and Italian linen, available in six of their most popular colors. The yardage estimate for each kit accounts for enough yarn for the selected size, plus 10% for a 6- to 8-inch swatch and for knitter tension variance. Each kit includes a free digital pattern, delivered by email near the time of shipping.
See additional pattern information shown below the photographs for sizing. Make a size and color selection to see its yarn photo.
