such fair, fresh, alert, first-flower faces,
like lavender crocuses, snowdrops, like Roman hyacinths,

say hola to ohna! our latest pattern . . . a lightweight (the smallest size weighs just 50g!), eyelet capelet knit with Minkle, our latest a mink yarn with a touch of cashmere and sparkle! we designed Ohna to be an all-season layering piece that looks equally chic thrown on top of a tank top or cocktail dress. Knit on US7 needles, this lace weight yarn project zips along!
