    Love a loose fit look? Want to branch out into stranded colourwork or just love making yoked styles? Make your next knit the Bleideag sweater with this kit. Bleideag could even be your first sweater project. The kit will provide you with the pattern and yarn you need to make it in your size, from XS - 5XL. Bleideag could be a good first knit for beginners to stranded colourwork.


    Using warm but relatively light yarn, this is a great pattern for a more experienced knitter or someone less advanced who wants to try stranded colourwork. This drapey, loose-fitting sweater kit helps you create a colourwork yoke knit in a combination of shades that expresses your style.

    Bleideag

    The Bleideag sweater is a drapey design with a delicate yoke. It's knitted from the bottom up, in the round, and could be a good introduction for beginners to stranded colourwork. The pattern includes 15 sizes, with a finished chest circumference of 38" to 66", roughly equivalent to ready to wear sizes XS-5XL.  A more detailed description can be found on the Bleideag pattern page.

    Purchase the pattern

    The Bleideag pattern is included in the kit, and can also be ordered separately if you prefer to substitute yarn.
    About the yarn
    The yarns provided with this kit are Létt Lopi and Einrúm. Létt Lopi is a light, airy 100% wool from Iceland, while Einrúm is soft Icelandic wool twined with Thai silk, which we have chosen for this pattern because of the way it helps the yoke really stand out and shine.
    We know that making a sweater in a larger size is an investment, so sizes 8-12 include a 5% discount, and sizes 13-15 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.
