Overview
What's in the kit
Orka — Energy: a surge of power comes from within, reaching out. This sweater is knitted holding four strands of unspun Plötulopi on big 10 mm needles, so it grows wonderfully fast. The greyscale colourway fades from black heather through greys to white in a smooth gradient, blended strand by strand as you knit.

- Icelandic Plötulopi wool (unspun plates, knitted 4-ply) — yarn for the largest size is included, so every size is covered
