Solstice
Organic Cotton • Merino
Part of the Verde Collection of environmentally conscious yarns, Solstice is a blend of organically-grown cotton and soft merino wool. Combining organic cotton and merino allows Solstice to make use of the best qualities of each. The cotton component keeps the stitches crisp and clear, provides structure, and allows the finished garment to breathe. Super soft merino wool adds warmth, drape, and helps pieces hold their shape.
