The kit will include all the yarn needed to complete the sweater but doesn't include a copy of the pattern which you need to but separately from Ravelry.
The kits will ship in 5 to 15 working days.
For this sweater I used my own Gradient Sets, for a special and unique finished project. To give the colorwork enough contrast to stand out, while also remaining subtle, I've faded MC from dark to light on the yoke and the again from light to dark on the body. While for CC I've faded it from light to dark. I'm writing all the details on how to knit your own Alpine Bloom as mine, you'll find them soon on the blog.
The kit will include enough Gradient Sets, depending on yarn base, in 2 colourways, to complete your project.

I try hard to represent each colorway as I see it IRL, but please keep in mind that colors may vary from monitor to monitor, also light affect what you see.
PATTERN INFO (from Caitlin's ravelry pattern page)
Alpine Bloom is a light summer tee knit from the top down featuring a sweet lace neckline and sleeves and a Scandinavian-inspired floral colorwork yoke. Short rows are worked at the back neck for an improved fit. The sleeves are knitted separately and grafted on. Instructions are given for lengthening the body as desired and for simple ribbed sleeve cuffs if you’d prefer not to graft the sleeves on.
