Note: Pre-orders for this kit are now closed. All pre-ordered sweater kits will be shipped by the end of October 2024. We'll have a limited amount of Norwood available later this fall, but we won't have sweater kits again until 2025. Please join our mailing list for all up-dates.

In celebration of our 2021 batch of Norwood yarn, we collaborated with Jennifer Beale who designed the stunning La Manche sweater pattern specifically for this yarn.

Please note that the pattern is not included in these kits, and must be purchased separately. You can buy your copy on Jennifer's website here or on Ravelry here.

We've created kits for this pattern in both the original colour combination (Professor Plum + Sand Castle + Canasta) and two other options for the main colour (Night Owl or Mud Puddle). Choose the kit for the size you wish to knit to ensure you will have enough yarn for your sweater.
