TWIST is knitted seamlessly and top-down in a structured pattern that looks like a small cable. You begin at the top of the back, where the shoulders are shaped using short rows. Then continue until the armhole is finished. From the shoulders of the back, stitches are picked up for the 2 front pieces. Join the back and front pieces under the armhole and knit to the desired length, interrupted only by pockets. Pick up stitches in armhole, and knit the sleeves top-down to desired length.

The yarn is made from 100% RAS-certified alpaca wool (CU 890756). Products certified according to the Responsible Alpaca Standard (RAS) contain alpaca wool fibers from farms that are independently certified according to animal welfare and land management requirements.
Svala by BC Garn – light, airy, and surprisingly versatile! Originally designed as a carry-along yarn, Svala can also be used on its own either singly or held double. Thanks to a special spinning technique, the soft alpaca fibres (21–23 microns) are spun into a fluffy yet structured thread. The result is a light and airy fibre that still provides stability and shape to your knitwear, all while maintaining the familiar softness of baby alpaca.
Spun and dyed in Peru, where the alpaca fibres are also sourced.
