We are super excited about Joji Locatelli's newest release, the Elton Pullover. This gorgeous design features alternating bands of Mohair Silk Lace and Fingering-weight yarns which not only creates an interesting texture, but also a light, yet warm, pullover that would be fabulous for Autumn.
Because we love this design so much, we have decided to put together kits featuring our favourite colour duets that we think will look stunning knit up as Elton Pullovers. We've chosen speckled/variegated colours for the fingering-weight yarn (Uptown Sock) and coordinating semi-solid colours for the Mohair Silk Lace. This combination of will create a fabulous effect that will be perfect for this design. Here are the kits! Please note this is a pre-order. Yarns will ship in around 3 weeks. Pattern is not included in the kit, it can be purchased separately via Ravelry. We have used our stock colourway photos, please be aware you will be receiving Uptown Sock and Mohair Silk Lace.
