Yarn kit for TWIST LOOP SWEATER by Other Loops in Önling No 1 + Silk Mohair
TWIST LOOP SWEATER is a classic, rib stitch raglan sweater with elegant cable details and a pretty decrease sequence on the sleeves.
The sweater is worked in the round from the top down. After having finished the neck hem, you will work short rows to form the neck opening and continue in rib stitch, making raglan increases on the yoke and cables on the body and sleeves. The sleeves are shaped with a sequence of increases and finished with a rib hem.
Here we knit the sweater in the yarn combination Önling No 1 and No 10, which is one strand of merino wool and angora held together with one strand of silk mohair. This combination results in a soft texture and a cozy warm sweater.
The kit contains: Yarn for the selected size and color.
PLEASE NOTE:
- This kit does not include a pattern. You can buy the pattern at otherloops.com

ABOUT PATTERNS FROM ÖNLING
In 95% of all kits from Önling, you get a digital pattern and yarn when you buy a kit. Read more about how to get hold of your digital knitting pattern here.
In very few cases, however, we provide a printed pattern rather than a digital one:
- When you buy a kit for ALL designs from PetiteKnit's, you will receive a printed, pattern together with your yarn, as we are unfortunately not allowed to sell Petite Knits' patterns digitally.
- When you buy a kit for a design from selected books (e.g. Helga Isager), you sometimes have to buy the book separately, in cases where the patterns are not released to be sold separately. It will always be clearly described in the product title, with for example "xx kit, excluding pattern", when the pattern is not included.
- All patterns from Isager are delivered as a printed pattern, as we do not have access to sell these digitally. You will receive your pattern along with your yarn shipment.
Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect.
