Knit Picky

Souchi Cashmere

Hey there, Little Miss Crafty. Looove your decoupage jewelry box on Etsy. And your prowess with felt is truly amazing.

But can we talk about your knitting? A misshapen scarf does not a masterpiece make.

Put. down. those. needles. (Please.) And trade up with Souchi cashmere, Portland-based Suzi Johnson’s super-pretty sweaters, tanks, and dresses. Handmade from the highest quality Scottish yarn and vegetable dyes and available in three weights (for the Northwest’s schizo seasons), the pieces are ultra soft, whisper thin, and fit just right.

Grab a Peter Pan-collar cardie and sail through spring. Or layer a snuggly sundress over a turtleneck and stop pining for summer.

Everything’s machine washable and built to last (without ever balling up).

So you can stop being such a pill.

Available at Les Amis, 3420 Evanston Avenue North, Fremont (206-632-2877); Tulip, 1201 First Avenue, Downtown (206-223-1790); Olive, 23535 Northeast Novelty Hill Road, Redmond (425-836-4298). To see styles, go to souchi.com.
