Twinkle kit
A kit for knitting the Twinkle sweater, designed by Midori Hirose, in our yarn Brusca. This sweater features a colorwork yoke, hem and cuffs. This kit does NOT include the pattern, which can be purchased directly from the designer's Ravelry page (available in English, Japanese, Korean and Spanish)
The original sample in photo 1 was knitted in Daruma Genmou, but Retrosaria suggests Brusca as an alternative yarn.

*Note: The original sample in photo 1 was knitted in Daruma Genmou, and color option A is a suggestion of similar shades in Brusca. The sweater in photo 2 was knitted in Brusca using shades from a discontinued palette, so Retrosaria suggests the most similar shades from the latest batch in color option B.
Option "Choose colors": please use the notes field at check out to indicate your choice of colors of Brusca for MC, CC1 and CC2.
