Cardigan Class
Cardigan Class
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.
