Lotta Löthgren, owner of Elk market in Sweden, is one of our lovely stockists. Not only is she a pleasure to work with, but she is also a talented knit designer! We fell in love with her Geometer Sweater last year and now she’s made a short-sleeve option for those warmer spring days.
This bundle includes the full yardage you will need to knit the short-sleeve version in these alternate colorways we’ve picked just for you!
Please be sure to double check the size you need and make sure to select the correct bundle in the drop down menu.

You will receive skeins from this colorway, but not the exact skeins pictured. • Due to our “dyed in the wool” process, each skein we produce is unique, even within a dyelot.
For high contrast colorwork, we recommend steam blocking to avoid color transfer. • Some dyes are notoriously difficult to set, and may exhaust some color even after our final wash. • Please keep this in mind if you are combining any hand dyed yarn with a light color in the same project. • If you plan to combine a hand dyed yarn, especially a very saturated colorway, with a lighter yarn, we suggest you test your darker skeins for possible color transfer by soaking them first. • To wash your knitwear, a quick cold water dip with a no-rinse wool wash is recommended.
