As quiet and open as a still lake at dusk, Ruth is a cardigan crafted for easy days. The lightness of the fabric mirrors the shimmer of sunlight on water, while the soft drape and generous shape offer comfort like a favourite shoreline path: familiar, grounding, and full of ease.

Worked in simple Stockinette stitch that lets the yarn breathe, Ruth is an effortless layer for many seasons — from early summer days to crisp autumn mornings and beyond.
