shop sample: imperialis handknit top

Imperialis by Mel Kennelly is a timeless-meets-trendy boxy basketweave and lace tee. A relaxed fit and classic drop-shoulder style make Imperialis a go-to top for outfits from casual to workwear. Just see how cute the sample is on Sarah! Summer skirts and shorts pair as perfectly with Imperialis as sleek dresses and or pants for the ultimate warm-weather staple.
Our sample from Berroco is knit in the design yarn, Berroco Iris, and is just one of of the great patterns in their collection for this new yarn. Iris is a chainette, worsted weight yarn that blends cotton, bamboo, merino wool, and yak to create a silky, heathered yarn with wonderful stitch definition. Iris has a beautiful drape and buttery soft hand that makes it incredible to work with and to wear.
