Confluence Sweater Kit
Just launched!
Designed Caitlyn Turowski
We are very excited to bring you our very beautiful Loop version of this gorgeous sweater design from Neons & Neutrals, Aimée Gille's new book.
Named for Caitlin's hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Confluence sweater is a mixed base and marled top-down sweater.
Featuring a folded collar, balloon sleeves, and a circular yoke, this sweater is perfect for first time sweater knitters, as well as advanced knitters looking for a relaxing knit. The sweater body and sleeves are knit holding a fingering-weight and fluffy lace-weight yarn held together to create a beautiful marled fabric. The collar, cuffs, and hem are worked holding the yarns independently. The 3 stripes on the sleeve cuff represent the confluence of rivers at Pittsburgh’s point. This is where the Allegheny and Monogahela Rivers merge to create the Ohio River. Simple and elegant, this design is the perfect vehicle to show off and highlight these special yarns!”
We have kitted this up for you in the most beautiful Madelinetosh Merino Light in colour 'Grapefruit'. The merino light is held together with a strand of La Bien Aimée's silky and lustrous mohair silk in the colour 'Sansa'.
Each kit includes:
All the Madelinetosh Merino light in 'Grapefruit' and La Bien Aimée Mohair Silk in 'Sansa' you'll need for your chosen size. You also get a great Loop project bag that is a limited edition to celebrate the book, and LBA weekend at Loop, to keep everything in!
