Must Make Monday: Groovy Genser

Must Make Monday: Groovy Genser

It’s less than a week until Rhinebeck, which means Rhinebeck Sweaters are about to premier! We’ve been keeping an eye on what’s been popping up on Instagram and we think if you’re wandering the grounds of New York Sheep and Wool this upcoming weekend you might spot the Groovy Genser sweater by  Shay Johnson. This worsted weight fair isle piece is the perfect sweater for fall, offering a cozy layer of warmth without the need of a coat. Available in a 32-65” torso measurement, this size inclusive piece might just find it’s way into everyone’s handmade wardrobe!

The yarnistas think that this sweater would knit up wonderfully with De Rerum Natura Gilliatt as the main color, and for a pop of color joy, Spincycle Dream State for the contrasting pattern.
