This kit contains 9 x 100gram skeins of Yama Merino Linen Singles and 2 x 50gram skeins of Yama KidSilk to knit a similar (not identical!) Paul Klee sweater to mine. The design is by Midori Hirosi. (Please note that the pattern is not included in the kit, it can be purchased via Ravelry.com. Also see my Ravelry project page for notes about my knit.) The pattern calls for 14 to 24 colours but I used less and repeated some in different combinations throughout the yoke design which worked well. There will be plenty left over yarn from the colourwork to use in other projects!

The colourways included are:

4 x Chocolate Bark (Merino Linen Singles ~ this is the MC and will be enough to knit at least a short sleeve sweater for all the sizes offered in the pattern. Most sizes will be able to knit 3 quarter to long sleeves.)

1 x Sea Mist (Variegated Merino Linen Singles)
1 x Sun Kiss (Variegated Merino Linen Singles)
1 x Tidal (Merino Linen Singles)
1 x Maple (Merino Linen Singles)
1 x Conebush (Merino Linen Singles)

I knitted the Easy V sweater by Boylandknitworks in colourway Smoke for the body, Raven for the neckline and cuffs, and Sea Urchin along with my handspun in the colourwork.
