An exclusive McIntosh knitting kit
Holding a British Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) wool and silk blend together with a Suri alpaca and silk blend creates a soft, lofty fabric with beautiful drape, shown off in an all-over diamond lace pattern.
This raglan sweater is knitted from the top down in the round in FABULOUS 4-Ply and ffluff - a hand-dyed BFL-silk and baby Suri alpaca-silk blends by McIntosh.
An intermediate knitting kit in 7 sizes.
Kit contains:
FABULOUS by McIntosh is a luxurious British wool composed of 55% British Bluefaced Leicester spun together with 45% Grade A Mulberry Silk and is accredited as a British Wool blend by British Wool.
ffluff by McIntosh is a stunning blend of 75% baby Suri alpaca spun together with 25% Grade A Mulberry Silk.
Knitting from a skein: wind each skein into a ball before knitting. We recommend leaving the wool in skein form until prior to knitting to protect the fibre tension.
Pattern: after purchase, you will be sent a copy issue 245 of Knitting Magazine with your order.
A note on colour: as yarn colours vary in different lighting conditions and electronic screens vary too, there may be a slight variation in the product colour. As all of our yarn is hand-dyed, each batch is as unique as you are. We recommend alternating between 2 skeins as you knit throughout the garment.
Care instructions: hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry.
Returns: we want you to be thrilled with McIntosh. If not, we will refund or change your yarn within 60 days. Simple.
