    • The MiZZoni Sweater by Degen.Us is a super fun knit where you can make up the colour placement as you go.

      It works spectacularly well with Ombre Merino Cloud, 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.

      We have expertly picked out kits that will result in such gorgeous and unique MiZZonis. Colour placement is down to you, so you know that every single one will be a unique masterpiece!

      Your Kit Includes:

      • Ombre Merino Cloud x 4 skeins*
      (Shown in Kit Vittorio.)

      • Access to Zoom session on colour placement and dealing with ends (live on 23rd Jun, or recording emailed afterwards)

      • Optional PDF pattern - delivered by Ravelry to your inbox.

      You will also need:
      • 3.75mm (US 5) 24" circular needles
      • 3.75mm (US 5) 16" circular needles, for neck ribbing
      • Stitch markers 
      • Stitch holders or scrap yarn

      Sizes:
      XS (S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL)
      See Schematic Diagram for measurements. This sweater has a boxy fit with dropped shoulders.

      * We highly recommend winding your skeins into smaller bundles, to break up colours into sections, which you can pick from as you go. You will have leftovers for sizes XS - XL, but we recommend 4 skeins, you'll get max colour possibilities! Use your leftovers to make a  MiZZoni Vest, or gorgeous Bert Raglan!


      We also recommend joining new yarn by knitting the old yarn with the new yarn together for a few stitches, so you don't have to darn in loads of ends. 

      The yarn is held SINGLE, not double, as suggested in the pattern.

      Ooh, and if you want it to be extra, extra special, add a skein of Beaded Silk & Sequins for the neck and cuff ribbing!!

      About the yarn:
      Merino Cloud is an unbelievably soft and luxurious blend of Fine Merino and Italian Cashmere: Merino Cloud is unlike any other yarn!

      This Fingering Weight yarn contains an exceptionally high quality cashmere which makes it super soft  and as light as a cloud, but with tons of loft and body, and exquisite drape and stitch definition.

      And since Artyarns are masters of colours and dyeing, and this yarn takes pigment so well, expect to be wowed!
