*********

Somewhere between an oversized cowl and a demure cape, this piece is designed to sit neatly on your shoulders to provide easy-wear warmth. Pulling from Matisse’s bold cut-out period, this piece incorporates brilliant variegation of the yarn. The lacy sprays echo the sheaves the artist scattered onto a white background and the sinuous cables evoke the movement from Two Dancers.

Colorway shown is The Sheaf.
