Jennie weaves her enchantment with Genevieve. Knitted with organic linen, Sparrow , Genevieve's loose-fitting silhouette exudes an ethereal essence accentuated by its cockleshell ruffle hem. Each ruffle delicately cascades, and comes to life with each step, swaying gently, creating a mesmerizing visual and tactile experience. Constructed by first knitting the sleeves in the round, next the cockleshell edging lengthways, and finally the body and yoke, Genevieve is a masterpiece that seamlessly blends artistry and comfort.
