Stone Wool Cormo is full of sheepy goodness. Made from heritage breed sheep in Wyoming, its unique properties mean it has wonderful stitch definition without feeling too dense or heavy when knit up, making it the ideal yarn for this Gansey inspired slipover. The Sille Slipover by PetiteKnits combines modern shoulder shaping with traditional Gansey design work wrought by simple knits and purls. Knit up in soft and springy Cormo this modern update to the sweater vest will surely become a wardrobe classic. Pair it with a white button-down and jeans or update a dress for colder weather with this added layer and a cute belt. Or, for a 90s look (it pains me to call it retro, but I suppose it is regardless of how old it makes me feel!) layer it over your favorite mock turtle neck shirt and a pair of slacks. Now the only question is there such a thing as too many sweater vests, because I’m having a hard time picking a color!
