- Stop By for Trunk Shows Galore!
A beautiful Brooklyn Tweed trunk show is going strong at Wool & Grace. This glorious collection features pieces knit up in Shelter, Loft and Quarry, which are exactly the type of yarns you want to knit and wear now that we are in sweater weather!
One of the best things about seeing these beautiful trunk shows is to see how beautifully these special woolen-spun yarns wear and how beautifully they soften with time. There's a little of everything in this collection, from easy pieces for aspiring sweater knitters, to intricately cabled and constructed wraps and garments. Agnes (top left) and Roslyn (top right) are two incredibly wearable pieces that let knitters relish these lovely yarns and focus on thoughtful construction. This Brooklyn Tweed trunk show will be at Wool & Grace until October 28.
