Wool and the Gang | Stargazer Cardigan Kit
From: NZ$222.60
The Wool and The Gang Stargazer Cardigan Kit gives you everything you need to knit up a two-tone cardigan with a lot of pizzazz. As if the reverse stocking stitch didn’t give it enough texture, thick cables run down both the front and the sleeves. The contrasting tones along the collar and several centimeters of the sleeve and body can be a dramatic pop or a subtle shading, depending on the yarns you choose.
The Stargazer Cardigan kit uses Wool and the Gang’s Alpachino Merino. It’s a bulky alpaca/merino blend that is soft, squishy and oh so huggable. (Just like you’ll be if you’re wearing this cardigan!) It’s 100% natural and a perfect weight for year-round knitting.
