Yarn kit for the Tulip Cardigan by Melody Hoffmann.

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

You knit your Tulip Cardigan seamlessly from the top down using Plötulopi by Lopi Island and Tynn Silk Mohair by 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 held double together with one strand of Tynn Silk Mohair, making it much easier to knit.
