Skim, by friend of the flock Cheryl Toy, is a lightweight complement to mild spring weather. Made in our springy + light Weld, this open front, easy wear cardigan features decorative cables at the fronts with easy expanses of stockinette for visual balance. Made from the top down, this elegant saddle shoulder cardigan sits (and stays!) beautifully on the shoulders, meant to pair with everything from a silky slip dress to your favorite trousers and jeans.
