Bitty Birdies Bundles – Kate Oates & Spincycle

Bitty Birdies Bundles by Kate Oates with Spincycle Yarns

Kate Oates’ popular Lovebirds Sweater has gone mini, with Bitty Birdies for kids! Featuring Spincycle Yarns’ Dyed in the Wool for the variated colourwork with neutral Wilder as a contrasting detail. Unlike it’s grown-up sister design, Kate’s mini sample swaps the colour changing birds for a base full of colour.

We’ve created original and curated bundles for the long sleeve version, as pictured.
