We're pleased as punch to offer kits for Dori Kershner's new pattern, Watchtower Pullover! One of the "kids", Blair, was delighted to test this pattern, and raves about the fit and detailing that elevate this raglan pullover above the everyday.
We're celebrating our desire to #mixthosebases at The Lamb & Kid this weekend, and this new sweater is a shining example of two of our favorite mixes — The Lamb & Kid Trio held with Dimond Laine Birdie and Dimond Laine Elmer Fingering held with Dimond Laine Birdie. One has all the color and sheen of a worsted-spun merino/cashmere/nylon blend, while the other offers the duskier halo of cashmere woolen spun into merino. Both combinations feature the fluff of the alpaca and silk of our Birdie base. So much fun!

Elmer Fingering is a woolen spun Merino/ Cashmere blend. Like Elmer Tweed, it's rustic with a beautiful texture and richness. It’s fantastic on its own and perfect for colorwork. It’s light, lofty and holds its shape beautifully. All the hold and snap back of wool with a whisper of cashmere for softness and halo.
The Lamb & Kid Trio:
Trio is our new custom-milled trifecta of merino, cashmere, and nylon. Trio is both hard working and delightful. Its merino content provides beautiful texture and memory, the cashmere brings a sumptuous hand, and the hint of nylon takes dye vibrantly and gives added structure in draping and durability. We adore Trio and we hope you will too! Trio is perfect for wardrobe staples from sweaters to accessories. Trio knows no bounds!
