Overview
What's in the kit
Meiko is named after the Meiko nature reserve in Kirkkonummi, Finland. A Léttlopi pullover by Tiina Lukkarinen — Neulova Kettu — a Finnish designer who loves the roughness of wool, the play of colours and the small details of nature, and whose colour combinations nudge knitters to try something new. The Murky version: a deep murky-brown body with the yoke in white, rust heather, black heather and fjord blue.
