The Necco design truly showcases the beauty of high-contrast skeins of hand-dyed yarn, making it a standout piece in any wardrobe.

What sets the Necco Capelet apart is its unique construction. This garment is expertly worked in the round, ensuring a seamless finish that enhances its elegant shape. The turned hems are adorned with a contrasting color on the inside lining, adding an extra layer of visual interest to your project.
