The Central Ave Cardi is named after the street our brick and mortar shop calls home, where the heart and soul of FDF resides. This design is all about gathering and community, the knit nights, the chats over the counter, and the friends who wander in and stay a while. The Central Ave Cardi is made for slow knitting and cozy wearing. Worked flat from the bottom up, it features a deep shawl collar, an oversized fit, and squishy cables with stunning stitch definition. It’s a knit to savor and a sweater you’ll reach for season after season. It’s a cozy layer we’ll be reaching for all winter long!

Knit and designed in mind to specifically showcase our beautiful Pishkun - 100% Montana and Wyoming Rambouillet, 255 yd/233 m per 3.5 oz/100 g skein. This kit is comprised of 8 to 13 dreamy skeins (depending on your size) of Farmers Daughter Fibers. Pishkun’s lofty, rustic softness and exceptional stitch definition make it the perfect choice for showcasing the sweater’s stunning cables while creating a finished garment that is warm, lightweight, and made to last.

Perfect for very adventurous beginners and seasoned knitters alike, this is a sweater worth every stitch. The Central Ave Cardi is the kind of hand knit that only gets better with time.We hope you love our latest FDF Design!
