      You will also need:
      • Circular needles: 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm (40 and 60/100 cm) and 3.5mm (40 and 80 cm) or sizes needed to acheive pattern gauge
      • 4mm double pointed needles (if not magic looping)
      • Optional: a 4 mm needle for the Italian cast on

        NOTE: Personally I choose a needle 0.5-1 mm larger when working the stranded pattern, to maintain the same gauge as when I’m working in plain stockinette stitch. It varies from knitter to knitter whether or not you gauge changes when you’re knitting with more than one colour. This is the reason why I recommend knitting a swatch before beginning your sweater.

    • Sizes:

      1 (2) 3 (4) 5 (6) 7 (8)

      Bust circumference: 93 (98) 105 (114) 119 (126) 131 (142) cm

      It varies from person to person how much positive ease you like in your clothes. A useful tip is to measure some of your favorite sweaters to help you choose the perfect size for you.
      Anne's ALUNA SWEATER has 10 cm of positive ease.

    • ISAGER YARNS

      Renowned for classic yarns made from natural fibres, well suited for knitting, crochet, weaving and embroidery.

      All the wool qualities are ideal for felting and for dyeing with plant dyes.

      It is important to us that our yarns are produced with the greatest amount of care taken to both animals and humans.

      THE COLOUR RANGE

      Carefully created so the colours work well together both within and across the qualities. We rarely change the colours, as the range primarily consists of BASIC COLOURS, amongst which contemporary colours can always be found.

      The colours and qualities of our finer yarns can be mixed to create unique pieces.

      As a rule, single ply, densely spun yarns should not be used individually for working in the round, as they may pull the finished work. When worked together with other qualities this problem is avoided.
