Stratified Kit

Description

Stratified, designed by Tif Neilan, is a beautifully modern striped sweater that blends simplicity with striking details. Worked seamlessly from the top down, this sweater begins with a shaped neckline formed by short rows and features clean raglan shaping that highlights its flowing stripes. The colorblock design uses five distinct colorways in a dynamic four-stripe repeat, allowing stripes to vary in width for a playful yet balanced look. Subtle texture and delicate eyelet details add depth and interest to the knitting process, while options for cropped or full-length bodies and sleeves make this design highly versatile for any wardrobe.

The Fibre Co. Cumbria is the ideal yarn for Stratified, offering both elegance and durability. A blend of Merino, Masham wool, and mohair, Cumbria provides a soft, cozy feel while maintaining excellent stitch definition to showcase the sweater's clean stripes and intricate eyelets. Its rich, heathered colors elevate the colorblock design, giving each stripe depth and vibrancy. The warmth and structure of this yarn ensures you'll reach for this beautiful season after season.
