Look what arrived!
This knitting kit [pictured left] is produced by Wool and the Gang [woolandthegang.com], a business founded by Paris-based duo Lisa Sabrier and Carolyn Main. Wool and the Gang work in partnership with the people - and alpaca - of two small towns in Peru to produce a range of knitting kits and ready-to-wear pieces. They are (in their own words) "a gang of knitters, guys and girls from 7 to 77 years old, all tied together by a piece of yarn …". Bless.
Not only good, clean, crafty fun, Wool and the Gang's kits turn into modern and thoughtfully designed garments and accessories in sheep's wool, super-soft pima cotton and alpaca wool. My kit contains all the elements needed to knit my way into two crop tops – one in nude pink, the other cinder black. I'll update you on my progress.
xo linds.
PS. The last image in the series below is of a poster that came with the kit - it's a taster plate of the Wool and the Gang projects on offer. I picked the crop tops kit, but was sorely tempted by the Tala Tank Top (in brick red) and the James Jacket (in midnight blue).
