Maureen has a soft spot for working with Sylvan Spirit. This unique blend of fibers (Fine Western Wool and Tencel® Lyocell) adds a luster and fluidity to the yarn that she finds irresistible. It works up into a finished fabric that has a more polished feel—sweaters knit up with it are perfect for any occasion. Her design transitions beautifully from a morning in the garden to an evening out on the town.

A classic design can become a wardrobe treasure, a piece that you find yourself reaching for no matter the occasion. This simple oversized layering piece is stunning enough to be a statement while being equally suited to “popping over” any outfit (including your pjs). The lushly textured ribbing is created with three different brioche techniques for a comfortingly squishy fabric that is a pleasure to wear. Select a gradient yarn for a dramatic effect, or quintessential neutrals for a vest that will never go out of style.
