Cassini Sweater Kit

Cassini Sweater is a flattering A-line yoke sweater worked in four shades of Luma. Striking thin lines define the neck, sleeve and hem edges, and mark each block of colour. The sleeves are knit flat and seamed with shoulders that have beautiful lace detailing. Our Luma yarn’s unusual blend of organic cotton, linen, silk, and fine Merino, has an extensive palette of delicious shades which will make a colourful addition to your handmade wardrobe.
