abbeyhill

Meet your new favourite sweater for autumn. Deeply textured cables and a swingy, slightly cropped shape that you’ll love layering over… just about everything, whether it’s pjs on long weekend mornings, or a maxi-dress or dramatic trousers when you finally decide to get dressed. Worked bottom up, seamlessly, with a fun cable pattern followed by plenty of soothing stockinette. The spoke yoke is borrowed from a beloved ready to wear sweater, and features feathered decreases for a subtle design detail, that’s also intuitive to knit and sits just-right around your shoulders.

about the yarn

Abbeyhill kits feature Tukuwool Sock, a lustrous wool from Finland in rich heathered colours. It’s tightly spun with three plies for a rounded structure with ideal stitch definition for the cabled border. There’s also nylon for increased durability, because we know you’ll be wearing Abbeyhill over and over.

sizing

Abbeyhill includes 12 sizes, from 34½” to 72½” finished chest circumference. We know that making a sweater in a larger size is an investment, so sizes 5–8 include a 5% discount, and sizes 9–12 include a 10% discount compared to buying the yarn separately.
