Knit the magical journey of Sachiko’s Night Blooms sweater, blending dark magic with a kooky twist. Inspired by dreams of moonlit walks, magical cats, stars and mystical flowers adorn the yoke of this sophisticated sweater with a picot neckline that flatters and elongates the neck. The Violet and Sand colourways of TYC’s Bloomsbury DK combine to create a playful knit that will transport you back to the magical world of the heady 90s.
