Introducing the epitome of versatile elegance, our top-down raglan V-neck shrug is a timeless design with two distinct sleeve options, catering to your style preferences. The first option features gracefully cascading bell sleeves, adding a touch of whimsy to your ensemble. Alternatively, opt for the second sleeve style, a classic, straight, cuffed option that works in any wardrobe. This shrug’s top-down construction ensures a seamless and personalized fit, while the V-neck adds a flattering neckline. Whether the bell sleeve resonates with you or the timeless appeal of the straight cuff, this shrug provides the perfect canvas for expressing your individuality.
* The yarn needed to complete this project, including 2-4 skeins of Spun Cloud or Sister Yarn, 1-2 skeins Dreamland and 1-2 Mini Skein Sampler Kits (required yarn amount varies upon size you purchase). Please note: these kits contain enough yarn for either sleeve size. The yarn combination in these kits is different than the yarns in the modeled photos.

These kits are made of mixed yarn ~ including either Spun Cloud or Sister, Dreamland, and a Mini Skein Sampler Kit ~ for maximum fun!

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.
