Recommended to be worn with 0–4” / 0–10 cm of positive ease at the chest, depending on your preferred fit. Fog Heather and French Vanilla/Dreamweaver samples are shown in size 2 on a 36” / 90 cm chest with 2.25” / 5.5 cm of positive ease.

Where anything feels possible
Meet the Spinners
Over the course of the last 13 years, we've created our own little cottage industry within the Indian economy where 16 Indian women create our yarns! There’s just so much that goes into each and every skein and none of it would be possible without this team, right here, making it all happen. One of my favorite things about being there is that anything feels possible. Read more on the blog: India Team + Trip Recap.
