Jill Draper Makes Stuff High Plains has just landed, and we literally cannot wait to cast something on in this scrumptious yarn. We think that the Uptown Tee makes the perfect seasonal pairing. The short sleeve silhouette paired with the mesh detailing on the raglan make this tee the ideal wardrobe piece to take you from spring all the way through until fall. The soft, luminous sheen of High Plains will give a water-color-like effect as the stockinette body of the tee shows off the irregular high-lows of Jill Draper’s iconic hand-dyed look. This knit is size-inclusive with nine sizes, and the top-down construction makes it easily customizable. We think this piece will become your new favorite handmade sweater! The sooner you cast this on, the sooner you can start wearing this sweater again and again.
