Description

Dawn was the inspiration for Uppstytta: it’s morning and the fog lingers by the sea while rays of light try to break through. A boat neckline, swingy back and wide sleeves with gathered cuffs give this Léttlopi lopapeysa a modern silhouette — here in a sea-inspired turquoise palette of glacier blue, lagoon, bottle green, galaxy and black.

Uppstytta - Turquoise Knitting Kit

Can’t wait to start knitting!

I had been eyeing this sweater kit for about a year but hesitated to purchase due to lack of confidence in my knitting skills. In a ‘if not now, when?’ moment I placed my order and could not be more impressed with the ease and quality of service which made for a stress-free, pleasant transaction - all before opening the box! The skeins are arranged by color, the colors are absolutely beautiful, the supply seems ample. Zero issues with the digital pattern download, and pattern is clearly written but the color chart is a bit tricky as the colors blend into each other.

Really Fast Service

This kit came unbelievably fast! The turquoise is the color of the Blue Lagoon. The black like the black sand beach. So it recaps my trip to Iceland.

I ordered Monday and it arrived Thursday
