This kit includes everything you need to create the crochet Sheepestry Cardigan.
This is the listing for the Full Sweater Kit (includes both main color and contrast colors). If using your own main color, see the Contrast Colors Only listing.
The Classic Sheep Version includes all the same base for every contrast color, while the Boucle Sheep Version includes the Boucle DK base for the two colorways used for the sheep's wool (Ewe and Dove), which gives the sheep a curly texture. If using the Boucle Sheep version, you will need to size down one hook size for the Boucle DK sections in order to maintain gauge.
________________
SHORTENED PRE-ORDER: Orders will be dyed and shipped within 3-4 weeks of order date. If placing an order for both in-stock and pre-order yarns, your entire order will ship when the pre-order yarn is ready.

________________
Hand wash your projects using wool wash or a mild detergent and cool water. Lay flat to dry and be careful not to rub or wring your yarn as it is drying, as it may cause felting.
Each skein is dyed by hand and completely unique. Some color bleeding may occur during the first few washes. If you are concerned about color bleeding, you may want to hand wash your yarn prior to beginning your project.
To avoid color pooling when creating large projects, it is recommended to alternate skeins every row or two.
