Peony
Peony is my favorite flower, with amazing texture and color. So, it seemed fitting that this Electric Orchid vest be named for them!
A simple, textured, somewhat oversized pullover vest that can be worn alone or over a tee or shirt. PEONY is the perfect addition to any wardrobe. And this one is knit in a magnificent yarn, The Wandering Flock, in the best of colors! Knit yourself one and enjoy…
