EKF is going from New York City to Seattle with the Duotone Sweater! Using two different colors, one in sock weight and the other lace, this is the perfect pattern to combine two of the places you love into one uniquely beautiful piece🏙✈️🏞
Duotone is a modified drop-shoulder sweater with a relaxed, cozy fit that is knit in the round, from the bottom up, holding two yarns together. Slipped stitches, worked only in a single yarn, at the centre front and back and down the sleeves, mimic an i-cord and create a bold, crisp contrast to the marled, glowing fabric. These faux i-cords are worked in-place (no intarsia or sewing!) and, along with your choice of trims in the same, single colour, create maximum dual contrast in both colour and texture.
Sample shown is Size 2 on a 34" / 86 cm bust with 8.75" / 21cm of positive ease
**no colorway substitutions accepted -- please order à la carte if you'd like this pattern in different colorway combinations!**

In order to make sure Rachel Costello, the designer, receives all proceeds for their work, you can purchase the Duotone pattern now on Ravelry! It will not be included in the kit.
Important Note: all yarn is dyed in fairly small batches - meaning that each skein, while using the same dye recipe, will be slightly unique due to the nature of my dyeing process. additionally, while I do my best to make sure the photo matches the actual skeins, color may vary slightly from screen to screen (phone, computer. etc.)
Shipping: this yarn is a custom order so please allow 2-4 weeks for your order to ship as we find time in our dye schedule!
