Meet the Sunbeam Stripe Cardi Kit! This sweater is another fantastic first sweater option! Let your creative spirit run wild with the Sunbeam Stripe Cardi. There is no wrong way to knit this one! It's all about mixing yarns, colors and textures in a way that resonates with you and makes you feel free as you knit. Did we mention that it's a whole lot of fun too?! The Cardi is created by working sideways from cuff to cuff. You’ll need one skein of our Spun Cloud for the cuff, neck, bottom and front ribbings. The rest is all the main color Spun Cloud, Wildflower Mini Kits and Mini Skein Sampler Kits. Have fun mixing colors and making it your own, we even mixed in some sequins and beads into the French Vanilla version shown here.

Where anything feels possible
Meet the Spinners
Over the course of the last 13 years, we've created our own little cottage industry within the Indian economy where 16 Indian women create our yarns! There’s just so much that goes into each and every skein and none of it would be possible without this team, right here, making it all happen. One of my favorite things about being there is that anything feels possible. Read more on the blog: India Team + Trip Recap.
