HandMaiden's Flaxen yarn, a luxurious blend of silk and linen, makes a light, summery cardigan. Linen and silk take up the dye differently, leading to a delightful tweedy look while feeling cool next to the skin. Mirrored panels of lace impart a pleasing symmetry which is set off by a wide, shallow shawl neck collar and bands closed by buttons and button loops. Natural, wooden buttons are chosen to complement the richness of the ivory colorway as shown, but a more polished look can be had with mother-of-pearl buttons. Kowloon, an area of Hong Kong, is the birthplace of the designer Connie Chang Chinchio's mother and literally translated means "nine dragons."
