selling ***ITEM DESCRIPTION: This capelet is hand knitted in a short-row pattern, using several ribbon-type novelty yarns. This results in vertical wedge shapes which create a subtle pattern. It has a yoke at the top, with ribbing at the neckline, through which is drawn a navy blue, somewhat shiny ribbon, so that the neckline can be drawn up to the width that you would like. The bottom edge of the capelet is edged with a knitted lace pattern in the darker yarn. The yarns used in this piece are an acrylic/nylon ribbon yarn in blue, with black stripes; a rayon/polyester/nylon blend ribbon in dark blue and teal; and a variegated cotton/rayon blend in shades of blue and soft green. The colors blend together well to create a complex but integrated fabric, which drapes well and has lots of texture and a very slight sheen.
***NOTE: This capelet does not open at the front, as some do. This would be a great cover-up for a spring day or a summer evening, adding some warmth but not too much.
***DIMENSIONS: 21 ½ inches long; 3 7/8 inches from neckline to bottom of yoke; width at base of yoke is 31 ½ inches, but will stretch to 42 inches; width at top of lace edging is 49 inches, but will stretch to 68 inches. Though very stretchy, I would call this a women's small to medium size.
***MATERIALS: Rayon, nylon, cotton, acrylic, polyester
***WASHING INSTRUCTIONS: Hand wash, cool; lay flat to dry.
