I am wearing a size 2 with 9 cm of ease and I knitted it using the CALISTA and CELESTE base (discontinued by supplier, replaced by ISOLDA) in the color Aurterra (2 strands held together).

The sleeveless Athen from the same collection was knitted with Iséa and Isolda.

You can order your yarn kit in the color of your choice or on the base of your choice; if I have it in stock, it will ship directly, otherwise it will be dyed especially for you within a maximum of 2 weeks. 💛
