Kumo Sweater Kit – Knit Your Own Cloud

The Kumo Sweater, designed by Julia Wilkens, lives up to its name ("Kumo" means "cloud" in Japanese) with its light, airy construction and luxurious texture. Crafted with the exquisite Saperlipopette yarn from Fonty, this sweater is a dream project for knitters looking for comfort and elegance in one piece.

Pattern Highlights

• Unique Construction: The sweater begins with a provisional cast-on at the back, featuring short rows on the shoulders for a flattering dropped shoulder silhouette.
• Effortless Details: The armhole stitches are picked up along the edges, and the neckline is finished with a few rows of picked-up stitches for a simple, seamless look.
• Luxurious Yarn: Made with Fonty’s Saperlipopette, the sweater offers a plush feel and an elegant halo.

About Saperlipopette Yarn

Saperlipopette combines three luxurious fibres for an unparalleled knitting experience:

• 65% Baby Suri Alpaca: Adds warmth, softness, and a fluffy, cloud-like appearance.
• 20% Silk: Brings durability, elasticity, and a subtle sheen.
• 15% Extra-Fine Merino Wool: Completes the blend with volume, loft, and extra softness.

Perfect for those who adore soft, textured finishes but want an alternative to mohair, Saperlipopette ensures your finished sweater is as cosy as it is luxurious.
