Some of my favorite days are spent nestled under a blanket, a warm cup of tea in hand and a good book open beside me, while distant thunder rumbles and rain softly taps against the window. The air feels charged, carrying a promise of renewal and fresh beginnings after the storm passes. Knit from the top down with a circular yoke, this design features a collar that fits snugly around the neck and chest for warmth and comfort, while added ease through the arms and body provides a relaxed fit—perfect for lounging through rainy afternoons.
