DesignEtte Knitting Kit Morning Glory Extra Fine Merino Silk Superkid Mohair Yarn Multi-Colour Large/3X-Large No-S-2017

As soon as you open your kit from DesignEtte you will find the pattern leaflet for 'Morning Glory' on top of the yarn and accessories which have all been carefully wrapped in black silk paper In an effort to be more we have removed labels from the balls of yarn Instead there is a label inside the top of the box where you will find all the yarn information you will need about the shade and dye lot of the yarn included in your kit The knitting skill level of this kit is designated as “Advanced” - aimed at the experienced knitters and estimated to take 45 hours to make Less experienced knitters or those unfamiliar with working the Fair Isle technique should expect to take a few hours longer The body of the sweater is skill level 4 (advanced) - whilst the sleeves are Easy (level 2) and therefore quicker to knit This garment uses the traditional Norwegian technique of steeking where the knitted fabric is worked in rounds in a tube and then cut with scissors to make the armholes Steeking is not overly difficult but it needs to be undertaken with great care and precision can be daunting if you are unfamiliar with the technique There are many great tutorials online and we urge you to watch a few and feel confident about the process before following the instructions in the pattern Before you begin to work the garment it is essential to work a tension swatch to establish the right size of needles for your work The correct tension will ensure the best results possible in your finished garment If you have too many stitches to 10cm then you need to use a larger size if you have too few stitches then use a smaller needle Join all your seams using mattress stitch remembering that the fabric is flexible so be careful not to sew too tightly and to keep the stitching fairly loose Sew the DesignEtte Woven label into your finished garment DesignEtte translates as “design” and “female” Show that you are proud of the knitting and crochet traditions created by generations of women when wearing your finished project made with your own fair female hands Box Contains The knitting kit ‘Morning Glory' in size L/XL and 2XL/3XL, colour: Multicolour, includes yarn DesignEtte Botticelli (1600g 70% extra fine merino wool, 30% silk), DesignEtte Andrea di Bonaiuto (100g 70 % super kid mohair, 30% silk), a Nordic eco labelled pattern booklet (with 4 crochet and 4 knitting patterns), a leaflet pattern for ‘Morning Glory’, plus a label
