METRO KNITS
 

For the Metro Knits Collection, Tahki Yarns drew upon its trademark casual fashion sense, with the added spice of luscious textures and dreamy, floral colorways. Great NY street style teaches us that laid-back outfits are elevated by mixing color and texture, and skillful layering helps a Spring/Summer wardrobe traverse other seasons. The Metro Knits Collection supports the best warm weather layering, with pieces that work both over and under existing garments in your wardrobe.

Lacy, lightweight knits reign here, as they can be easily layered and mixed and matched at will. Spring and Summer in the city provided the rich colors of the Metro Knits Collection: blushing pinks, budding greens, deep river blues, warm creams, and woody browns.
The Denver Pullover (seen above) embodies a field of wildflowers in new cotton-blend MONET, and can be layered over a bright tank and long, pleated skirt, and under a denim vest (it is absolutely a multi-directional layering piece!). The Philadelphia Duster in RIPPLE (right, top) is made for layering: over a maxi dress, over a hippie-inspired floral tee, over a pair of cut-off shorts and a tee. RIPPLE creates drape that cascades beautifully over the figure, and exudes the lightweight, airy quality of Spring.
The Chicago Hi-Lo Jacket in new cotton-linen yarn ARUBA (right, bottom) has an almost diaphanous quality. Playing up the hi-low trend (which shows no sign of disappearing in 2015), the Chicago Hi-Lo Jacket features a deep seed-stitch hem and vented sides. This look can be dressed up or down, work appropriate and elegant with slacks, a light tank, and a statement necklace, but casual enough for jeans and your favorite tennis shoes. ARUBA's rustic thick-thin texturing does a beautiful job of showcasing the architecture of simple stitch patterns.

With 13 designs ranging from pullovers and tees to a duster, a jacket, a tunic, and a tank, knit in all your favorite warm weather yarns--COTTON CLASSIC, COTTON CLASSIC LITE, RIPPLE, ROSA, TANDEM, and new yarns ARUBA and MONET--the Metro Knits Collection is a must-have for Spring 2015. Preorder today to be the first to receive a printed book in February and an early, insider's Lookbook pdf NOW containing all garment information, needle and yarn requirements, and skill levels, and is available only to those who preorder the collection.
