Elevate your handmade wardrobe with the gorgeous Valley Yarns Kabosu, a versatile layer that transitions effortlessly from casual to special-event ready attire! This stunning lightweight piece features a luxurious blend of baby alpaca from Hatfield held together with the exquisite silk and mohair of Southampton, resulting in an incredibly soft, warm fabric with an alluring drape. The design of Kabosu consists of a body knitted flat in individual pieces from the bottom up, featuring overlapping fronts, gathered shoulders, and a stylish ribbed waistband that adds a touch of elegance. Sleeves are expertly crafted by picking up stitches around the armhole edges and working them in the round, concluding with charming cuffs that sport a delightful eyelet motif, perfectly matching the design of the fronts and waistband.
