This kit is for the yarn only.

Knit your Stakkur Vest with authentic Shetland wool—the genuine article!

Mooskit (MC), Burnt Umber (CC1), Moorit (CC2), Nutmeg (CC3).

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

Find Shetland Shades book here.
Kits are divided into separate sizes as different numbers of balls are needed for each.
