Why you'll love it

Make your own Ranunculus Sweater in our gorgeously soft Skein Sisters Romance held with an alpaca fluff. You'll finish it in a flash and be casting on another in no time!

The Ranunculus Sweater by Midori Hirose is one of the prettiest and most versatile designs. With over 23,000 projects on Ravelry, it's been in the top 10 designs since it was released and with good reason as once you make one, you'll make another and another!

Ranunculus is a top-down round yoke pullover with lace and textured stitches. It is knit on large needles, which gives it beautiful drape, and you can also use any yarn you like from laceweight to 10ply/worsted weight in wool, linen, silk, cotton and more. 

There are loads of ways to customise the jumper, and we love a winter version made with a fingering weight yarn held with a fluffy laceweight yarn such as a mohair or alpaca. You can choose from smaller or wider neckline, and short sleeves or long puff sleeves with/without diagonal cuff line. Choose whatever length you prefer + there's HEAPS of videos to help you with all the techniques.

You can put together all sorts of wonderful colour combinations, but if choosing colours isn't your strength then we've made it easy for you and put together a whole range of combos using our Skein Sisters Romance and Sesia Oliver alpaca. If you've admired Deb's version in Romance in Olive You, then it's time to make your own!

Deb's colour is Olive You and Janine's is Melba.

Deb made some alterations to her Ranunculus by adding short rows at the back to add some more length. You can find how she did it here.

You'll feel fabulous wearing this amazing jumper, plus it's super fun to knit. Grab one of our yarn sets and cast on now!

Hand-dyed in Australia

As a hand-dyed yarn, each skein is unique. While we take great care to ensure consistency across dyelots, we recommend alternating skeins when working on larger projects.

Skein Sisters Yarns are hand-dyed in Dulwich Hill in Sydney, Australia on the country of the Bedigal, Wangal and Kameygal people of the Eora Nation.


Important Shipping Note: Items ordered with dyed-to-order yarn will be held and shipped together once your custom yarn is ready. If you’d like your other items sooner, please place a separate order. If you select Store Pick Up at checkout, please wait until you receive our SMS to say your order is ready to be picked up.
