Painterly Shawl 

The Painterly Shawl was inspired by the brushstrokes of Impressionist painters – known for their emphasis on light and color. Our beautiful Cassatt yarn features speckles and tweedy nubs, nodding to the brushstrokes of these artists. Let this yarn shine in this gorgeous triangular shawl. It features a rhythmic, simple stitch pattern and lovely details including right and left twists and an I-Cord bind-off.

Emma Vest

When a chill starts to pepper the air, a sweater vest is your ultimate layering piece. It adds a put-together look to any outfit, and they look even better when knit using an exquisite yarn like Cassatt. The Emma vest takes a texture-rich yarn and uses a simple lace stitch pattern and stripes to make it the focal point. The lace creates a pretty scalloped hemline, and breezy shaping means you’ll complete this project in no time. Designed by Rachel Brockman
