Cozy Up With New Luminen Kits & Class

Luminen by Sari Nordlund
is our new favorite top-down bulky weight sweater!

I cast-on New Years Eve, finished it on January 4th, steamed blocked and wore it the next day! No, I'm not a fast knitter. This pattern requires under 600 yards for most sizes (440 yds for Medium),
with a super easy Feather and Fan lacework panel in front.

I used Jody Long Andeamo and The Fibre Co. Cirro held double for a beautiful warm fabric and a soft marled look.

We've put together kits for you in nine different color combinations. Each kit contains enough yardage to knit sizes 1-3. For sizes 4-6, simply add the "Sizes 4-6 Extra" option to your cart.

Choose your favorite color, and join us
for our Luminen class starting January 15th!
