Cassini Sweater is a flattering A-line yoke sweater worked in four shades of Luma. Striking thin lines define the neck, sleeve and hem edges, and mark each block of colour. The sleeves are knit flat and seamed with shoulders that have beautiful lace detailing. Our Luma yarn’s unusual blend of organic cotton, linen, silk, and fine Merino, has an extensive palette of delicious shades which will make a colourful addition to your handmade wardrobe.

The Almanac Series II
The Cassini Sweater is part of The Almanac Series II, which is a seasonal guide to knitting with The Fibre Co. yarns. Based on the original farmer’s Almanac guide to the seasons, this collection celebrates each month of the year with our Yarn of the Month and a new design launch in that yarn.

For The Almanac Series II, we looked to the heavens for inspiration. The beauty and grandeur of the night sky and awe-inspiring astronomical phenomena guided our creativity.

As the season turns here in the Northern hemisphere, and the temperature begins to rise again, we embrace our yarns more suitable for the warmer months. February is Cirro, March is Acadia, May is Luma, June is Amble, and July is Meadow.
