    • We've created some GORGEOUS kits for the new Leisurely Slip Knit Sweater pattern by Iris Schreier which she has written to show off the amazing Ombré colourways, including our exclusive Tribe Ombré colourway.

      This Slip Stitch sweater is knitted top down in the round, alternating two colourways. You can choose from 2 different necklines, and 3 sleeve lengths!

      These hand-painted yarns are an ingenious mash-up of variegation and self-striping, with much longer sections of individual colours than regular variegated yarns, but more blended transitions than self-striping yarns.

      Each kit contains:
      Merino Cloud yarn (an unbelievably soft and luxurious blend of Fine Merino and Italian Cashmere: Merino Cloud is unlike any other yarn!)
