Meet the Swoop Softly cardigan by Romi Hill!
We have been so enamored of Romi's Swoop shawl, and have made several versions with Verb yarns - so when discussing this year's sweater collaboration, we decided to use Swoop as our impetus and inspiration. The combination of lacy textures and short row shaping make for an addictive knitting experience. So Romi worked her magic to reinvent this design into a cardigan!
The fabric is made from stripes of fluffy silk mohair Frond and merino-cashmere Even Tinier Annapurna, which result in a lovely, lightweight, flowing fabric. Soft, weightless, and effortlessly elegant - a signature Romi Hill design.
The yardage for both ETA and Frond goes a long way. Only 1 skein of each are needed to make the first four sizes!
We designed two new colors for Romi: Moonglow on ETA, a hazy lavender neutral; and Kishu on Frond, a subtle petal pink with juicy, sweet orange speckles.
