Two bright hues pair as beautifully as the fruit and sugar in your favourite summer beverage. Easy stripes, simple construction, and a unique shape promise an accessory that delights from cast-on to wearing.

Lisbons is included in the Fresh-Squeezed collection from SweetGeorgia Yarns.
Biting into a ripe strawberry or a plump little Clementine is, at the core, wholesome. Good for us. Those bright beauties, the essence of lightness, comfort, and delight, are balms for the spirit. Just like summers laying in the grass, or feeling the sun on our faces, or drinking a fruity beverage. You could say knitting is like that: good for you.

That vivid “goodness” is the inspiration behind this collection. Perfectly suited for your warm weather forays into the orange groves, these lightweight pieces promise easy joy and decadent comfort. You’ll find a bit of lace, fun shapes, and bold hues that pull you into the all the emotion found at the lemonade stand. Fun, colourful, and wholly good for you.
