Knitting kit for Limoncello sweater in Önling No 4 + silk mohair
Limoncello is a beautiful sweater with a gorgeous, feminine lace pattern on back and front and fine, soft edges in silk mohair. The name is derived from the Italian lemon liqueur, which is a beautiful yellow color. Limone means lemon in Italian, but it can of course be knitted in all colors and fits perfectly with a pair of jeans.
We knit Limoncello sweater in our light and soft merino wool Önling No 4 and silk mohair for the edges. Even though it is knitted in wool, it is comfortable and light to wear.
This yarn kit contains: Önling No 4 and silk mohair for the elected size and a digital pattern.

The price of the yarn kit is calculated based on the amount of yarn included, which is the amount we have used to knit the design according to the above measurements.

All designs have been thoroughly calculated and tested.
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.
