It’s cardigan making season and we’re bringing back the Marlo Sweater for the third year due to its popularity and how satisfying it is to create. This is a two-part class because it’s not just about making a sweater, it’s about having quality materials that are best for your style in a cardigan.

Marlo Sweater by True Bias fits busts 32”-57.5”, hips 34” – 59.5”
