Skill Level- Advanced

This Fair Isle knitted top follows the classic sleeveless sweater style, and the kit comes with our alpaca wool lightweight DK range, all sourced from British and Irish alpaca farms.

The Design

The Suffolk is designed to be knitted in the round from the bottom up as far as the armholes. At this point the knitting splits on you work on the front and back separately. The armbands and neckbands are added at the end. You can adapt it to knit in two panels (back and front separately).

Prefer to knit up in two parts: Front and Back? You can adapt this pattern easily by dividing the number of cast-on stitches in two and knitting each side separately.

It is a simple stocking stitch pattern throughout with a 16-stitch pattern repeat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Natural fibers are biodegradable and decompose naturally, unlike synthetic fibers, which take over 200 years to degrade. During this time, they contribute to landfill waste, release greenhouse gases, and leach toxic chemicals into the environment.

Alpaca material is stain-resistant, which means that it needs less washing and is less likely to get ruined by stains … and alpaca is stain-resistant without having chemicals and coatings added to it to make it so.

Sustainable Fashion Story

Alpaca yarn is naturally wrinkle-resistant, eliminating the need for ironing and reducing energy consumption. This helps lower carbon emissions, with ironing estimated to produce 190 kg of CO₂ per person annually.

Unlike sheep and goats, alpacas graze sustainably by trimming grass instead of uprooting it. This allows the grass to regrow naturally, preserving the soil and supporting healthy ecosystems.
