Abloom Cardigan - Kit
€90,30 - €141,90
What the Kit Includes
7 (7, 7, 8, 8, 9) [9, 10, 11, 11] balls of Biches & Bûches' Le Petit Lambswool - enough yarn to make the Abloom Cardigan in your chosen size, including a little bit extra so that you can swatch comfortably without worrying about running out of yarn.
About Abloom - The Pattern
Abloom is the perfect layering piece for transitional seasons, designed to be lightweight yet still cosy enough to ward off the early morning or evening chill. Inspired by the delicate beauty of spring and the early flowers, small and ethereal, almost wispy, the rib nature of the stitch pattern allows the fabric to move with the body, thus fitting a wide range of body sizes.
Designed by Anne Ginger for our Issue 9 - In Bloom.
About Biches & Bûches' Le Petit Lambswool - The Yarn
Pure lambswool from a family-owned fiber mill in Scotland, envisioned and brought to life by the wonderful family behind Biches & Bûches, a fantastic yarn company based in France. Le Petit Lambswool is wonderful for texture and stockinette.

We also have tons of articles on our blog that focus on helping you get the best results for you in your knitting as well as our resource page where we have links to videos and tutorials for every technique used in our patterns.

All our yarns are non-superwash, so any project is best washed by hand in lukewarm (not hot!) water, using a little bit of wool wash or gentle soap. Take care not to wring the fabric, but gently squish any excess water out of it, wrap it in a towel, roll it up, and do a little "dance on the towel" to press any remaining water out of the sweater. Then, lay it flat to dry.
We also have a few articles on the blog with our favorite tips how to care for your knits!
