Yarn Kits for Vaddel Sweater + Cardigan (yarn only) (Colorway)

Knit your Vaddel Sweater + Cardigan with authentic Shetland wool—the genuine article!

Below are the current colorways available. At this time I have sold out of the Port Wine, Ivory and Navy colorways. I have added in a brand new one though!

Oxford Colorway
Shades include Oxford (MC), Old Gold (CC1), Cocoa (CC2), Camel (CC3)

Moorit Colorway
Shades include Moorit (MC), Burnt Ochre (CC1), Paprika (CC2) and Fog (CC3).

Here is the breakdown of number of balls in each kit:

7 (7, 8, 9, 10) [10, 11, 12, 13, 14] balls of MC
2 (2, 2, 2, 2) [ 2, 2, 3, 3, 3] balls of CC1
1 (1, 1, 2, 2) [ 2, 2, 2, 2, 2] balls of CC2
1 (1, 1, 1, 1) [ 2, 2, 2, 2, 2] balls of CC3

  • You will get a complimentary copy of the pattern with the kit and it will come to you as a digital download after your purchase. The pattern includes 2 pdfs-one for the sweater and one for the cardigan version.
  • Kits are divided into separate sizes as different numbers of balls are needed for each. 
  • The MC yardage for the cardigan is slightly more than the sweater. All kits are made up to cover the yardage for the cardigan (and therefore the sweater).
