Conacaste

Designed by Claudia Q > This sweater draws inspiration from my grandfather and his favorite type of wood. Conacaste is a type of wood that is native to the tropical regions of the Americas and that is known for its durability and strength. The tree’s straight lines and honey-coloured wood, which darkens over time, mirror this cardigan’s timeless look. Dedicated to my grandfather Don Agustín, who loved Conacaste wood, the sweater is a tribute to the connection between nature and the places of my childhood. - Claudia Q Find the Kokon kit [here][1] Find the mYak kit [here][2] SIZES 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8) Recommended ease: 5–8" / 12.5–20.5 cm of positive ease.
