    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.

    The Abbeyhill pattern is included in the kit, and can also be ordered separately if you prefer to substitute yarn.

    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.
    We know that making a sweater in a larger size is an investment, so sizes 6-9 include a 5% discount, and sizes 10-12 include a 10% discount compared to buying the yarn separately.
    Looking for another colour? More are available by ordering the yarn instead of a kit.
