Neel Sweater Kit in Naturalis

Neel Sweater is the perfect fall knit featuring tonal stripes of simple stranded colourwork. It is knit top-down with an oversized fit and drop shoulders. This cozy sweater is made in beautiful Naturalis from Lang Yarns, a super soft single-ply Merino yarn that's dyed exclusively with herbs, roots and barks. Find out below which plants were used to create the beautiful colours in these kits.

• Red: The red hues are achieved using madder root, one of the oldest known dyes, while the brown pigment comes from walnut husks.
• Blue: The beautiful blue hues in this kit are dyed with precious indigo, while the soft grey is achieved with logwood.
• Green: These gorgeous greens are achieved by layering the rich yellow pigments of dyer's weld over the blue of indigo.
