Striped Knits

Stripes are always classic, and patterns that play with stripe placement are a perennial favorite. With striped knits, it's easy to get tons of interesting effects just by re-arranging your pattern pieces! Cut a few pieces on the cross grain, or on the bias, for high-impact stripe collisions!

We have lots of striped knits in the store right now. Here are just a few!

We have a huge new shipment of fabrics from one of our favorite design companies, Cotton and Steel. First up let's take a look at these linen/cotton blend prints.

Lana Bolito is great for indoor wear in winter and easily moves to outerwear in the transition to spring. All these great colors are selling fast, so come get yours today!
