Yarn kit for the Edith Sweater by LeKnit.

This super-casual cable-knit sweater will remind you of the 1980s while looking wonderfully classic.

You knit your Edith Sweater seamlessly from the top down using two strands of Le Petit Lambswool and one strand of Le Petit Silk & Mohair by Biches & Bûches. This delicate yet durable combination is timelessly beautiful and has a lovely texture. With wear, your fantastic sweater will become even softer.
