    • Inspired by Origami, Raingelt uses the technique of incorporating vertical and diagonal folds in the knitted fabric. Another gorgeous design by Rastus Hsu.

      Opus is super lush. "Buttery" is the perfect adjective for this yarn, which masquerades as a fine, cool cashmere but is in fact a hardy blend of merino and baby alpaca. It's technically a Fingering/4-Ply weight, but also knits up perfectly as a Sport weight since it's so lofty.
