Needs More Blue
Introducing the Needs More Blue Stole – a beautifully lightweight, large stole that is perfect for layering on those in-between days when a full coat is just too much. This stunning piece is crafted using three different colors of luxurious yarn, making it a versatile accessory for any wardrobe. Its generous size allows for multiple wraps, providing warmth when you need it while remaining light and breathable. The name "Needs More Blue" comes from my dear friend Maureen's favorite yarn shopping catchphrase, reflecting the joy and creativity behind this design.
