Posted by Kimberly Mazursky on
In our Textiles Studio, fall has been a great inspiration, particularly the changing colors of the trees and leaves. This is evident in the yarns we use for our fall textiles. Our new scarves are also themed for the season! The Autumn Herringbone Woven Scarf has a resemblance to the colors of fall leaves.
