Ruegen is a super cool top with a unique construction method! It's knit from side to side, creating vertical geometric panels that are reminiscent of the chalk cliffs of Ruegen, an island in Germany.
The alternating garter stitch and stockinette sections make the project really fun to knit. Short-row shaping helps to create crisp garter triangles, while the integrated I-Cord edge creates a sleek finish.

Saona is a delightful, lightweight transitional season and summer yarn. It's a blend of 50% Spanish Merino and Manchega wool and 50% Andalusian cotton - all of it traceable, grown, spun and dyed in Spain. Saona is dyed before it's spun, resulting in a beautiful heathered look.
Cotton can be difficult to grow and source sustainably as it needs a lot of water to be grown. So imagine our delight when we found this blend - locally sourced and produced, by a 4th generation GOTS-certified family-owned mill!
