Yarn kit for the Tulip Cardigan by Melody Hoffmann.

The delicate sweater is super warm and features a charming tulip edge.

You knit your Tulip Cardigan seamlessly from top to bottom with Plötulopi from Lopi Island and Tynn Silk Mohair from Sandnes Garn. The unspun yarn is super light and delicate, yet very warm. Working with Plötulopi requires some practice as the yarn is very fragile. Here the yarn is worked double-stranded along with one strand of Tynn Silk Mohair, making it much easier to knit.
