NEXT VINTAGE SWEATER PROJECT
The kits were purchased off eBay from three different sellers. Two kits are Andrew Stewart kits from the 1960s. The other was from Isle of Bute. If you're interested in finding kits like these yourself, like any sort of specific type of vintage item, you'll have to periodically search eBay to see if anyone has one for. There's no telling when one might pop up!
