Jetty Cardigan Kit

Inspired by rugged cliffs, crashing sea, rough hands and hard work, this cardigan has a classic heritage quality that is markedly feminine, yet rugged. Jetty Cardigan is knitted top down and features gorgeous cable detailing down the front and stockinette stitch for the main body.

Cumbria Fingering was chosen for this project due to its diligent ‘wooliness’ and durability. Made from a lustrous blend of Masham wool, Merino and mohair, this is the perfect project for those looking for something sophisticated and timeless to add to their handmade wardrobe.
