Paul Klee Sweater Kit

Description

We knitted our own version of this  iconic pattern by Midori Hirose @knitcafemidori , and opted for a combination of A Stormy Blend  fingering and A Chic Blend as we guessed they were the most suitable bases for this piece.

Also, this seemed the perfect chance to use again the cute MINIS we make on the Chic Blend base, and to launch a new test shade we made on A Stormy Blend, that you can browse here, and is named NEBBIA

So we built a couple of combinations for the yoke and the main color shade, that you can see in the photos above, but also listed some MINI bundles in different color mix HERE, just to give you some more options.... they're sooo many indeed!
