To celebrate holiday season and the release of Gingerbread Sweater, there’s a little introductory sale: use code GINGERBREAD for a 20% discount until Tuesday, December 23rd, 2025 (the end of the day, Helsinki time)!

Gingerbread Sweater is my new favourite Christmas sweater! It’s just as pretty as tree decorations and the gentle colourwork is inspired by traditional gingerbread frosting.

This circular yoke sweater is worked in two different types of yarn: fingering weight merino and heavy lace weight suri alpaca for the stranded colourwork.
