Add a bit of flair to your Spring wardrobe with this super sweet new cardigan by local, Oakland designer Enda Taylor. The Duo Cardigan is worked from the bottom up and knit flat, has a double knit button band, and mohair sleeves with I-cord ties.
When Enda approached us to design with our yarn, we were so excited because Enda chose an incredible collection of yarn to work with: Horizon in Brick and and Pollen paired with Frond in Lucky Penny. And we love the results! Duo is such a beautiful combination of creativity, color, and textures.
Horizon is our beloved farm yarn - made of 100% organic wool shorn from sheep raised in New Mexico. This yarn is milled at a decades-old co-op in Vermont. And arrives to our doorstep smelling like the softest, cleanest little sheep. We take this wool yarn to our dyepots, and use plants, in this case madder root, to create shades of red, rust, and little speckles reminiscent of fireflies lights flickering on and off - hence the name of this colorway.
Frond adds a bit of whimsy and lightness as it is made of silk mohair and is fingering weight.
