HELLO, WEEKEND
A MADELINETOSH COLLECTION IN TOSH WOOL + COTTON
A MADELINETOSH COLLECTION IN TOSH WOOL + COTTON
It’s Friday evening and the weekend beckons like an invitation. Will you take a long walk? Breakfast with friends? Stitch a few rows with your craft group?
Timeless and seasonless, Hello, Weekend evokes the spaciousness of an open weekend, the pieces as comfortable and relaxed as your favorite pair. They are forever, whenever looks, complementing pajama bottoms and silk maxis in a palette that’s as sophisticated as it is calming.
Showcasing our soft, all-seasons blend Tosh Wool + Cotton, Hello, Weekend features 4 knitted pieces & 1 crochet project: A t-shirt you’ll live in, a subtle (and fabulous) brioche shawl, a chic, slim scarf, a fresh, two-color top, and a slipover tunic knitted two-ways.
We intentionally didn’t put a year on this collection. Style has no season. Neither do handmade heirlooms or weekends of wide open possibility.
Love,
ABOUT TOSH WOOL + COTTON
Tosh Wool + Cotton debuted in the spring of 2021 as our response to the question, what makes beautiful knits for all seasons? Tosh Wool + Cotton became the answer.
Combining superwash merino wool with Pima cotton, one of the finest cottons in the world, DK-weight Wool + Cotton is a workhorse and a wonder and one of our most popular yarns to date. Cotton brings the cool, soft hand; wool delivers bounce and dyeability. The combination: A comfortable mix of fibers that take dye on their own terms for quiet, tonal effects that soothe and delight.
