May's La Dolce Vita Fade set
🌞 Five chapters of the sweet life, all in one glorious set! 🌞
La Dolce Vita — the sweet life — is not a destination, it's a feeling. It's the Aperol Spritz on a sun-warmed terrace, the slow boat across Lake Como at dusk, the scent of lemon groves on the Amalfi Coast, the golden light over Tuscan hills at harvest time. This fade set captures that entire, magnificent Italian summer in five seamlessly flowing shades — a gradient journey from the vivid, sun-drenched brights of the coast to the warm, golden depths of the countryside, with every gorgeous stop in between. This is the fade set for knitters who believe that life is too short for boring yarn.
Your dolce vita journey includes 5 seamlessly coordinated skeins:
-
Fingering Weight: 5 skeins × 463 yards = 2,315 yards of pure Italian summer magic! Perfect for show-stopping fade shawls, gradient cardigans, or socks that carry the whole sweet life on your feet.
