Description
THE WOOL BUNDLE

We are thrilled to present the original Wool Bundle for Campari Cardigan designed by Thea Colman, with Biches & Bûches Le Gros Lambswool 🐚

"I wanted texture, a touch of slouch, and some COLOR on a cardigan, and boy did this stunning yarn deliver. My cables here are simple and geometric. A classic V-neck with bold detail and a deep, cozy hem underline the cozy vibe and add more strong lines to the design.

The yarn I used is Biches et Buches Le Gros Lambswool, a wonderful Aran-weight fiber that knits up fast and easy. It has a little crunch to begin with (which I love), and it’s softened with only a bit of wear and blocking. The yarn shows off the cables beautifully and allows for a perfect drape in my sleeves.

The vibrant shade is Medium Red - and you need it if you love a statement red!!! However, if you like to wear something less bold, a few of my testers knit their Camparis in natural shades, and they look fantastic as well."

CONSTRUCTION

My cables here are simple and geometric. A classic V-neck with bold detail and a deep, cozy hem underline the cozy vibe and add more strong lines to the design.

Sleeves are generous and worked in stockinette so they fold and slouch when worn. The fit is easy in the body, and I like my cardigans to end just below my waist. However, as shown in the test knits, you can easily adjust the fit in both the body and the sleeves as you like!

I included side detail under each arm to allow for modifications to the body without having to worry about cable math, and there are notes about adjusting your sleeve shaping for a more fitted sleeve. Campari is actually an great design to personalize for your own wardrobe and taste, and the elements work beautifully in a variety of silhouettes.

As noted above, Campari is easy to modify. There are comments in the pattern for adjusting both length and width in the lower body. The generous sleeves can be shaped evenly from armhole to cuff for a traditional fit. Notes are also included on adjusting the upper body, shoulders, and back neckline if desired, and the cable pattern is both charted and written out. Short row shaping at shoulders can be done in either cable pattern or stockinette.

Campari is worked flat from hem to armholes, then separated into 3 pieces. These pieces are then worked flat to shoulders, which are shaped with short rows and seamed at top. The button band/collar is picked up around the seamed front opening and knit flat to end, and sleeve stitches are picked up around seamed armholes and worked in the round to cuff."
