As the sun goes down and cooler air sets in, you will want to reach for Valley Yarns Creek knit in Whately. The vertical orientation of the eyelet stripes flatters every figure in this soft and dreamy women’s duster. Creek is knit sideways in pieces and then seamed. Valley Yarns Whately is a sumptuous naturally heathered due to a blend of baby alpaca and cotton, creating a lightweight warmth that will ward off the chill. The lace pattern is in written form only.
