Säie Sweater is an ode to the beautiful colors of this yarn company I named the sweater after: Säie Wool. I ordered this beautiful selection of colors in DK weight yarn in their early days, wanting to see them all together and quickly realised that these colors would make the most beautiful colorwork sweater combined. Even the colorwork motifs used in this sweater mimic the logo of the yarn studio.

This sweater is worked from the top down in one piece and it features allover colorwork. The DK weight sweater is quite a quick knit and it’s perfect for mixing the single skeins you may already have in your stash.
