Icelandic Bison Sweater Knitting Kit
ABOUT
Pattern is emailed to the email entered at checkout upon purchase. You will receive the pattern for all sizes (XS-3XL).
This kit contains the yarn + pattern needed to knit the Icelandic Bison Sweater! Note that this wool is ‘rustic’ wool, but softens over time with use. Icelandic wool makes the perfect outer layer – tough, durable, and naturally temperature regulating. This is a knitting kit, NOT a completed product.
