  • Spot Sweater Mohair Ombré Kit

    1 item left
    • We've created kits from gorgeous, stunning Mohair Ombré and hand-paints Silk Mohair by Artyarns so you can replicate our beautiful version of this sweater.

      The huge benefit of knitting from this kit is that you don't need to worry about colour transitions for the body, from the peach to yellow to grey to ice blue. The ombré silk mohair has been hand-painted into a fabulous gradient skein.

      The skeins for sleeves are individual colours (yellow, grey and blue) to match the body - just gradually add in the next colour where it works for you.

      With this kit you will use 2 threads of silk mohair together for Colour A. 

      Colour B (deep blues, purples and some brown) is Double Mohair by Artyarns, i.e. the two threads are already plied together for you.

      Yarn Base Colourway:
      Body - Colour A Mohair Ombré x 2 threads 741
      Body - Colour B Double Mohair 742
      Sleeves - Colour A Silk Mohair x 2 threads Butterscotch

      The yarn in this kit will be sufficient for sizes XS-L in Anne Ventzel's Spot Sweater pattern.

      If you'd like to knit XL or XXL, we suggest purchasing 2 skeins of our Undyed Kidsilk Minis to transition the bottom of the sweater from blue to white. 

      Note that this kit does not include the pattern.

      Artyarns Silk Mohair yarn is the highest quality Silk-Mohair blend we've ever found. Gorgeous, soft halo from the top-tier mohair, and fabulous lustre and shine from the high silk content (40% as compared to 28-30% in other brands of silk-mohair). This stuff isn't like your run-of-the-mill silk-mo.

      Absolutely no scratchiness, no plastic/acrylic. This yarn has been hand-painted by artisans, not machine dyed, so each skein has depth and interest.
