Ceim Sweater Kit

About Ceim Sweater

The Fibre Co. team were inspired to create this design to explore the many options for colour gradient that are possible when holding two strands of Arranmore Light together. The Ceim Sweater is a gratifyingly quick knit and feature marled stripes on a classic raglan sweater.

Ceim is knit seamlessly from the top down, with 2 strands of Arranmore Light held together throughout. The yoke is shaped with raglan increases, until the sleeves are divided from the body. The body is knit from underarm to hem, which is worked with a 2 x 2 rib. The sleeves are then picked up and worked to the cuffs, which are also worked with a 2 x 2 rib. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neck, and a 2 x 2 rib is worked for the neck trim.

Ceim is exceptionally wearable and tremendously cosy, making it an excellent addition to your handmade wardrobe.
