Flow Sweater - Mono
Limited Edition. Coming soon.
SpektakelStrik and Flow Intimates are launching Flow Sweater together. A wonderful and soft fusion of two brands and two stories, which with its drops of blood invites you to start important conversations about menstruation and women's health - and to take small breaks in everyday life (you have to in order to knit this sweater), which can be especially important in the luteal phase and on bleeding days.

The finished knitted sweater should be hand washed gently in lukewarm water and laid flat to dry.
This pattern is for experienced knitters, and a knitting pattern is included in the package.
The sweater is knitted flat from the top down on the body. First the back is knitted, then the front piece is knitted from the back. The front and back piece are sewn together at the sides, and stitches are knitted up to the sleeves and neck. The drops are knitted using the intarsia technique and finally brushed up with a mohair brush to get a fluffy look.
Mohair brush sold separately.

Spektakelstrik x Flow
Spektakelstrik and Flow Intimates have designed the sweater with two missions:
1) It's time to give menstruation (and menopause) more conversation time in public - and the sweater with its blood drops is a good conversation starter.
2) Because knitting is a wonderful way to find and give yourself peace, which is quickly forgotten in a society where we all have to be able to perform equally.
"We hope that the sweater will provide space for reflection and good conversations in public spaces and certainly also pride in the person who knits it. Pride in the small break in everyday life it required to be created - and pride in carrying the blood that we are so used to hiding far, far away."
- Mie Firring and Cathrine Wichmand
