Yarn kit - Summer Shrug is an airy and wide summer top, perfect over a tank top! The top is knitted top down in organic cotton, a wonderfully soft plant-dyed cotton yarn. Thick needles make this a quick and motivating knitting project, and a stylish summer garment you can throw over your bikini top or a tank top. We love the wide stripes and the loose fit!
