the wool : it is the biches & bûches "le gros lambswool", a natural and 100% lambswool from scotland. the other one is our petit silk & mohair quality (75% kid mohair + 25% silk from italy). the knitting needles are some circular 6mm / UK / US + 7mm / UK / US - which you can find in our tool shop !

how to determine your size : you can take your favorite knitted sweater, worked in a yarn similar to the one you are considering, and measure its dimensions. it may not have the exact same shape, but it will give you an idea of the size to choose ! a sweater in thin wool is often designed a little loose, so it is best to choose a slightly larger than smaller size, and the biches & bûches designs are actually not intended to be worn tight <3

The body of the sweater is worked back and forth using two threads of yarn held together.
The back and the front are worked in reversed stockinette stitch.
The shoulder seams are knit together, and the stitches for the sleeves are picked up at the armhole, and worked top-down, in the round, in stockinette stitch.
