Yarn kit for the Ovis Sweater by Saskie & Co.

The sheep pattern looks iconically beautiful. In this sweater, you knit an entire landscape with traditional patterns. Abstract symbols and flower petals invite you to dream.

You knit your Ovis Sweater seamlessly from top to bottom in rounds with Plötulopi from Lopi Island. The unspun yarn is super light and delicate, yet very warm. Working with Plötulopi requires some practice because the yarn is unspun and therefore very fragile. The finished sweater is all the more beautiful and a true dream piece.
