The Dragonfly Shibori jacket is knit in a simple series of long colorful silk panels, combining two elegant fibers to an extraordinary effect.
A loose-fitting silhouette is flattering on myriad body types, with a generous shawl collar & flowing dramatic sleeve.
The jacket, as shown, blends a subtle array of harmonious colors in Silken Straw (pure silk ribbon) with Sanctuary (a wool/silk dk).
After knitting, the jacket is lightly felted, revealing an exquisite Shibori fabric ~ and a jacket destined to become a family heirloom.
