Yoko Top
Yoko Top is a wrap top with a sideway construction in rib stitch pattern that creates a graphic element of
design. It is worked flat, in two separate reversed pieces that begin at the front, and are then grafted
together at mid back. The top has I-cord shoulder straps and waist ties, and is finished with I-cord edges.
Cropped and with a deep front neckline silhouette, you can wear it as a layering piece or as a summer top.
The pattern includes sizes from XS - 4XL

Baby Bear Balaclava
The Baby Bear Balaclava is a cute children’s balaclava with rounded bear ears. Worked with two strands together at a small gauge, and fitting snugly around the face and neck, it makes a nice and warm accessory for those colder months (and one that the littlest ones won’t be able to pull off easily!).

Yarn
Our yarns
All of our yarns consist of 100 % natural fibers. Our yarns are produced with respect for animals and our environment. The merino wool comes from an organic farm in Patagonia where mulesing is not allowed, and is then made into yarn in Italy following ethical and environmental guidelines to create a yarn free from harmful chemicals.
Our Mohair comes from goats raised in South Africa according to humane standards. We categorically reject any mistreatment of animals in the mohair industry or elsewhere.
We believe in high-quality yarn made of pure natural fibres, and do our very best to create such yarn in a beautiful, carefully selected, range of colours.
