Yarn kit for the Ovis Sweater by Saskie & Co.

The sheep pattern looks iconic and 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 the top down in rounds using Plötulopi by Lopi Island. This unspun yarn is super light and delicate, as well as wonderfully warm. Working with Plötulopi takes some practice because the yarn is unspun and therefore very fragile. The finished sweater is all the more beautiful and a true dream piece.
