Sweet Springtime Sweaters
Apr 23rd 2024
We just received a restock from The Fibre Co. and wanted to share some of their new patterns with you. We're quite smitten with their coastal inspired lightweight sweaters - these garments are designed to knit and crochet now, and wear all season long.
The Ocean Blooms Sweater by Julia Disini (featured above) is the epitome of elegant simplicity. With its relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, and three-quarter-length sleeves, this top-down knit has the right amount of technique to challenge the adventurous beginner while offering advanced knitters a relaxing experience. Ocean Blooms is knit in The Fibre Co.’s Acadia, a luxurious dk-weight blend of Merino, baby alpaca and silk noil. Acadia has a graceful drape and soft texture that feels exquisite against the skin.
Inspired by the wild beauty of coastal landscapes, Ocean Blooms includes an option to embellish the sweater with embroidery depicting a flower reminiscent of the plumeria that thrives along the Hawaiian coastlines. Alternatively, those favoring a minimalist aesthetic can opt for the sweater’s understated elegance without embroidery.
The Open Reef Sweater by Kirsten Joel (featured above) is inspired by leisurely days at the beach and laughter-filled moments with loved ones. With its flattering cropped fit, this crochet design boasts a gentle boat neck, bracelet length sleeves, and a fan stitch trim around the neck. The lace fabric is created with the iris stitch, a simple single row repeat that offers a meditative crochet experience.
Designed in The Fibre Co.’s Amble - a mix of Easy-wash Merino wool, alpaca and recycled nylon - this sweater is not only soft to the touch, but resilient and easy to care for. Wear it over a swimsuit for a sun-soaked day at the beach, pair it with jeans for a relaxed evening out, or layer it atop a crisp linen blouse to elevate your office look. Wherever it accompanies you, the Open Reef Sweater is sure to evoke fond memories of sandy shores.
Envision sun-drenched beaches, where gentle waves leave mesmerizing patterns on the sand. The Sandhills Sweater by Marion Em Knits (featured above) captures this essence with its delicate wave pattern echoing nature’s artistry. The design radiates elegance with its wide boat neck, dropped shoulders and deep angled ribbing at the cuffs—a dramatic finale to its sleeves.
Knitted top down in The Fibre Co.’s Meadow, a lace weight blend of linen, silk, baby llama, and Merino, you’ll enjoy seeing the texture evolve as you work seamlessly to create the lovely details that define this lightweight sweater. Whether you’re embracing a sunset by the shore or enjoying a leisurely evening stroll, your finished Sandhills Sweater promises comfort, style, and a touch of elegance with every wear.
