This sweater was knitted bottom-up, first in two independent pieces knitted flat and then joined to knit it in a single piece in the round. Upon reaching the armhole, it is divided again into two parts, which will be knitted at the same time but the back and front with different yarn. I shaped the neck with German short rows and then closed it with a tubular bind-off. The shoulder seams were joined with a Kitchener stitch, and finally, the straight sleeves were picked up from the armhole, ending with a 1/1 rib cuff and tubular bind-off. All the techniques I mention can be found in the links I've attached, and you can ask me anything you need to help you knit it.

The history of your threads

In Chilean Patagonia, dedicated producers with over 30 years of experience produce this highest quality wool.

The sheep live on free-range pastures, which preserves the grasslands, and are free from animal cruelty. Our products are 100% Mulesing-free.

Our wool is hand-washed and spun on a small scale by expert natural fiber artisans in the city of Talca.

Then it continues its journey to Bagual, where it is dyed with ecological dyes

free of heavy metals to protect your skin, your loved ones, and the environment. Our vibrant colors enhance the texture and properties of these yarns in your garments.

Disclaimer

This is a semi-industrial product where multiple steps are done by hand. We want you to know that you might find small pieces of vegetable matter in your yarn, as well as a little bit of sand when you wind it. Both come from the Patagonian grasslands. (We told you these sheep like to rub themselves in sandbanks 🤭).

Our wool is spun in a semi-industrial mill, and you might find some irregularities in thickness and twist in your yarn. We like it; it gives identity and texture and makes each garment unique.

Your skeins are hand-dyed, resulting in semi-solid and variegated colors. We suggest buying all the skeins for your project at the same time and alternating skeins while knitting if you want to avoid pooling in your garments.
