As we move from late summer into early fall, it’s all about the layers. And there’s no better fabric for transitional dressing than lightweight sweater knits. This week’s deadstock drop includes a curated range of soft, breathable sweater knits in unique textures — from bold stripes to subtle sparkles. They're light enough for warm afternoons, but cozy enough for crisp mornings and cool evenings. Why We Love Lightweight Sweater Knits: Breathable but cozy — ideal for layering without overheating Soft drape — adds elegance and movement to simple silhouettes Stretch & comfort — easy to wear, easy to sew Sustainable — made from rescued deadstock fabric = no new waste Whether you're sewing for now or prepping for fall, these fabrics are seasonless staples.
