Wool and the Gang | Monet Tank Kit

Description

Slipover tanks are fashionable, practical, super easy to knit, and use less yarn than a jumper  – what is there not to love! Add in that this tank is made from Alpachino Merino, a yarn so soft that you won’t be able to stop squishing it, and you have the ideal project. The Monet Tank is a layering masterpiece – think crisp white shirt or a chic polo neck. It’s more than just a sweater vest, it’s a work of art.

This kit is knitted with Alpachino Merino – a soft, squishy Alpaca and Merino blend. 100% natural, and sustainably sourced in Peru, it’s a chunky, gently twisted yarn which has a super wearable weight for year-round stitching! The kit will teach you stocking stitch and i – cord – 1×1 rib.
