Thank you for your warm welcome for Vanilla’s Big Sister. We are so excited to restock Rauma yarn and see more Big Sister’s on the needles soon!
Following in the footsteps of the Vanilla Sweater, our communitys favorite wardrobe staple, the Vanilla’s Big Sister Sweater keeps everything you love about our best selling knitted sweater design, but turns up the cozy and the charm. Designed by Corinne, The Woolly Thistle Owner, and inspired by Renee, a dear Thistler, this brand-new design is making waves (as seen on the podcast!) and is destined to be your next go-to knit.
With a larger gauge for a faster finish, Vanilla’s Big Sister delivers all the warmth and comfort of the Vanilla Sweater, plus a fresh twist: a luxurious blend of wool and mohair that feels as dreamy as it looks. Knit with Rauma Fivel and Rauma Plum, its the kind of sweater that practically flies off your needles and one youll reach for again and again once its off the blocking mats.
The Vanilla’s Big Sister is a great choice for beginner knitters ready to knit their first sweater, and for experienced knitters ready for a fast and fun palette cleanser! Not to mention it’s so cozy and wearable!
