Cloud Waltz floats.​

​It’s a kitten tinking across piano keys. It’s unspun cumulus clouds coaxed into roving. It’s just enough sunlight to warm your shoulders, and a sigh of a breeze might set the whole thing adrift.

The biased cables of Cloud Waltz are punctuated with delicate garter stitch, adding textural contrast to the elegance of creamy stockinette. The result is an organic shape with scalloped edges and oodles of texture.

Wear it unblocked for coils of lofty texture, or block it flat for fluttering elegance.
