The Ombre Mirage Sweater is a celebration of creative contrast, blending bold colour with delicate detail in a striking, original design. Knitted flat in separate pieces, the body is crafted in a structured Mock Rib Stitch using the smooth, solid shades of Scheepjes Merino Soft. In vivid contrast, the sleeves feature the airy Butterfly Lace Stitch, flowing with the gentle ombre shades of Whirl – Fine Art.

By pairing two yarns that share the same luxurious composition, this sweater offers exceptional comfort alongside a beautiful interplay of colour and texture. The raglan shaping adds to the relaxed, easy fit, making it a joy to knit and to wear.
Enjoy creating a piece where structure meets softness, and solid meets shifting shades — an artistic addition to any handmade collection.
