THE SWEATER
Hold the Line is a light and airy sweater that combines the delicate texture of laceweight yarn held together with mohair, creating a soft, fluffy fabric with beautiful drape. This flattering raglan design is knit from the top down and features wide, modern stripes that add a playful touch to the classic silhouette. The collar is folded and two sleeve options are provided — choose between a straight sleeve with a loose cuff or a slight balloon sleeve with a snug cuff.
THE YARN
From Sonder Yarn Co., 2 skeins of HAVEN and 2 skeins of HALO are included in our kits. This is enough yardage to make all sizes of Hold the Line (see sizing info below).
HAVEN is a light, airy yarn crafted from premium Falkland Merino blended with Bluefaced Leicester and Masham wool. The merino brings a soft, velvety texture, while Bluefaced Leicester and Masham fibers boost strength and add a lovely lustre. The natural greige tone of the Masham fibers in Haven creates a heathered effect which brings depth and character to each colourway. 75% Falkland Merino, 12.5% Bluefaced Leicester, 12.5% Masham | 650 m (711 yds)/100g
It's well known that we have a deep and abiding love for a pretty halo and we think this luminous blend of kid mohair and silk strikes the perfect balance between fuzzy texture and sheen. Use HALO on its own (held single or double) or in combination with other yarns to add the softest, lightest bloom to your projects. 72% mohair, 28% silk | 420 m (459 yds)/50g
