High-quality label to mark your finished project

This project is worked in Petite Wool. Our Petite wool is a single wick fibre, characterized by its outstanding quality. Known for being soft, easy to knit and much thinner than our XL wool yarn balls, our Petite Wool will make your knitting experience an incredibly pleasant one. We adore the feeling of accomplishment as a piece grows from a little cast-on to a full-grown sweater. Enjoy the process!

Airing instead of washing goes a long way. Materials like wool are even naturally self-cleaning. Hand-washing is always the gentler option and the one we recommend. Dry the garment flat and let them always dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry. Do not wring.

Love the yarn & the sweater

This sweater came out amazing! The yarn is soft and has very chick bling :) I just had to adjust the sleeves as they were narrow. I'd recommend making the shoulder seam wider/ making more increases in the sleeve.

Fun project!

I really enjoyed making this sweater. The pima cotton was really lovely to work with. I had the opposite issue with sizing from some people - it came out a little larger than expected despite seemingly swatching correctly. The oversized fit doesn't bother me but may bother some.

Sizing is weird, & missing some of the pattern

Pros:
this was so fun to make!
Easy to follow & plenty of YouTube if I didn't understand a stitch
Beautiful sweater

Cons:
The English version of the pattern is missing sleeve instructions 😅 (figured it out based on the pictures but still...)
As any sizing on the site, it was a bit weird - made a large and it fits like a medium... So just keep that in mind :)

A great travel project, a great mohair sweater

I made the Lovely Sweater while on a trip to Oregon to visit with family. Touch Me Mohair is so light and I was able to easily take all the skeins with me on the plane. Because it is such a simple pattern, it was very easy to make and not have to pay a lot of attention to an intricate stitch pattern.
I get a lot of compliments when I wear it, and several, “can you make me one?” comments.

Beautiful sweater

I am usually a size 6 and I knit the size medium :) The fit came out just right. I did have to make the sleeves longer (I knit 51 rows for each sleeve so I divided the increases by the number of rows to figure out the increase). Would definitely recommend it :)
