Join us for a Richmond Hill Sweater KAL (Knit-Along)!
The Live KAL has finished, but you can still join to complete this KAL in your own time!We are so in love with this pattern by Mary Pranica!! Everyone needs a Richmond Hill!
Named in honour of our shop here on Richmond Hill, this raglan pullover moves the colour work to the sleeves for a new twist on an old classic! Using seven of our favourite Woolstok Light colours, this intermediate piece is designed for that perfect fit in this STUNNING new yarn by Blue Sky Fibers.
No risk of being stranded on boring sleeve island with this beauty!
How to join the KAL:
Check out our custom kits in other colourways HERE, and order whichever you love the mostOR
Create your own set of 7 colours from Woolstok Light, and let us know that it’s for the Richmond Hill KAL in the notes with your order.
You’ll be sent all the recordings and emails from the KAL, including all the tips and links.

Tribe KALs are all about community, yarns friendships, support and laughs. We keep doing them because they are so much fun! Try to keep your Friday evenings free during the KAL so you can get the most out of the KAL. Whilst there is a good amount of technique discussed during the sessions, the idea is more of a “knit-along” as opposed to workshops. It’s more of a social thing 😁!
Everyone is welcome, but bear in mind that this pattern is classed as Intermediate for Skill Level. So you should be comfortable with knitting and purling, and ready for some stranded colourwork and knitting in the round.
As always, please feel free to book a Virtual Shopping Session if you’d like to create a bespoke kit!
