Cassandra top by Önling, No 2 knitting kit

Yarn kit for Cassandra, a striped top in our lovely and sustainable Önling No 2, made of 100% merino wool in Italy. The wool has been carded using a special technique, making the yarn soft, airy, and delicately - absolutely non-scratchy. With Cassandra you get a fantastic and soft top that can be used for many occassions. This yarn kit includes yarn for knitting a top with narrow stripes in two colors, but Cassandra will also look great in one color or with another type of stripes.

The yarn kit includes: Önling No 2 yarn for the elected size and a pattern.

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.
