Each skein begins with a rainbow of colours that will form the yoke, and then a long section of deep green-y black which you'll use for both the body and arms.
Pattern: The stripes are designed for a top-down, seamless sweater. We recommend the Classic Cardigan or the Simple Sweater by Tin Can Knits.
The sample shown is Flax Light by Tin Can Knits modified to make it a cardigan (details here). Size 0-6 month.
Yarn requirements for the Classic Cardigan and Simple Sweater (Trifeca yarn):
100 g: newborn, 3-6 months, 6-12 months
150 g: 1-2 years, 2-4 years
What's the difference between the two sizes? The 150 g skein has wider stripes for the rainbow colours, allowing for a bigger/wider/deeper yoke. If you use the larger skein for a newborn sweater, you'll have to divide for the arms well before you've knit the full rainbow.
This is the SWEATER version of this colourway; the rest of the Whiskey in a Teacup collection is here.
Striping Patterns
Striping Patterns
Round Trip Designed with two matching halves—perfect for projects like socks, mittens, or sleeves where you want identical results. One 100 g skein of fingering weight is enough for an average-size pair of women's socks. For longer or wider socks, choose the 150 g size.
One-Way Trip A long, non-repeating color sequence. Great for hats, cowls, or scarves—ideal when you want a journey through color from start to finish. For a Musselburgh Hat, 100 g of Trifecta or MCN is enough for a size L hat but you will need 150 g if you'd like a wide, folded brim. 4-Ply has more yardage so 100 g is enough to make a folded brim.
Shawl Yarn Specially dyed for top-down triangular shawls. Each stripe is the same width from beginning to end, with no ends to weave in. 100 g of fingering weight is enough for a small shawlette. 150 g gives a more generous size.
Sweater Yarn Designed for garments like baby sweaters. The stripes appear only on the yoke, and the rest is a coordinating solid color—no switching yarns or breaking the flow.
