Designer Elizabeth Helmich created her Draped Panels Cardi in Brook yarn to be interesting as well as practical. With panels that flatter and intersect with the back in an architectural way and the accent of a seed-stitch collar, it’s just the jacket that's trending today!

WE LOVE the homespun, 1930s look of this cabled cardigan by Martin Storey. Its chunky texture of diamond cables works perfectly in Rowan’s Pure Wool Aran yarn, and details such as the lined pockets and shallow set-in sleeves add to the vintage feel. The Pure Wool Aran yarn is arobust, machine-washable wool that’s ideal for winter garments which will get lots of wear. It’s available in 18 shades, both muted and bright.
