We are pleased to offer a sweater kit for the Varde Yoke Sweater from Rauma's own pattern booklet. Knit with Finullgarn which results in airy and warm garments with good durability while also being beautiful.
This yarn set is available in three different color options listed according to the pattern. We are pleased to offer kits for both the women's and men's version of the sweater, as well as the matching hat!
Please note that these are all separate kits and you will need to purchase three different kits to complete all three items. Kits are available for purchase either with or without the pattern booklet in the dropdown menu.

your choice of purchasing the yarn set with or without the pattern card
As always, it is important to manage gauge to ensure you will have enough yarn. If you are worried you can purchase an extra skein!
Please remember that every effort is taken to represent the true colors of the yarn and that monitor settings will vary.
I’ve recently knit a cardigan using Fivel and have just bought another sweater’s worth of it. I found that it knit up beautifully, with plenty of stitch definition. Ravelry calls it a worsted weight, but it’s got 100 meters or 220 yards/50 grams, which I’d called a heavy DK, similar in weight to a Cascade 220—although frankly Fivel is much nicer.
Yes, it’s true. After I knit a cardigan from this book, I somehow lost my copy. But I love the patterns in it and knew I wanted to knit more of them, so I actually bought another copy. The book is in English and easy to follow. The patterns use Rauma’s Fivel yarn—another plus since it’s lovely yarn and comes in many of my favorite Rauma colors—but a heavy DK or a worsted weight could be substituted if you’d like.
While I am finishing up my Vanilla sweater I want to use the designs on a pair of wide leg jeans. Back in my Hippie days we would embroider on jeans and chambray shirts. I can picture using a couple of the designs up the leg of my jeans. 😊 Thanks Woolly Thistle for carrying such interesting books.
