DRYAD
Dryad is a cable-lover’s dream to wear -- luscious, luscious, thick cables wrap and intertwine like old tree roots traversing the length of the scarf. The generous width creates a luxurious fabric that begs to be wrapped dramatically around the neck, or worn with a classic wool overcoat. The cable motifs are perfectly suited for soft luxury fibers with plump stitch definition. Dryad is an essential addition to any knitwear-addict’s wardrobe; wardrobe; Yo You’ll u’ll find yourself wondering how how you ever lived lived without it. I know I have! --Jared
