AVFKW x Junko Okamoto - Papa Sweater Bundle - DYE-TO-ORDER

We adore the Junko Okamoto's designs and are inspired by the creative ways she uses color, texture, and proportion to create truly, unique one-of-a-kind sweaters. 

Junko made Papa using Horizon, our beloved farm yarn, known for its softness and close connection to the sheep and the Earth. Junko gathered inspiration from the coziness and warmth offered by wearing an oversized sweater, to create a bulbous shaped body and sleeves that indeed are comfy to snuggle into. Large sketches of flowers encircle the sweater and are created via the technique of stranded colorwork.

For her sweater, Junko used Horse's Mane as the main color, and Bandana as the contrasting color. Due to shifts in the environment, we have re-created these colors to create close approximations, now called Horse's Mane Too and Bandana Too. For additional color options, shop our pages for in-stock and dye-to-order.

10 skeins of A Verb for Keeping Warm Horizon yarn, 100% organic New Mexico Rambouillet wool; 160 yds [146m], 50g, Horse's Mane Too

PATTERN
This kit does not include the pattern. Kindly purchase the pattern directly from Junko via Ravelry.

When working with yarn dyed with indigo, it is common and natural for the blue dye to rub off on one’s hands while sewing. This is called crocking. Although the goods have been washed, it takes pressured contact to release the extra indigo dye. Your handwork is part of the indigo dyeing process. The blue dye can be removed with hot water and soap. From working closely with indigo dyed materials through the making process, typically, the excess dye has been removed, and the crocking will cease.
