Although the temperature is set to rise to the high 70s today, my mind is starting to turn to snuggly things, in particular these gorgeous knitted pieces in 100% merino wool from Italian online store Sartoria Vico (found via Not Martha).

They have created a range of simple but interesting and often multifunctional knitted pieces, each available in a range of colours. I love the way the website is a arranged, with clear photos and simple illustrations.

Incidentally ‘cappuccio’ – pronounced ‘ka-pu-cho – simply means hood and ‘sciarpone’ – pronounced ‘sharponay’ – means big scarf. I’m wondering whether these will be knitty overkill with last year’s knitted Uggs which had to be surgically removed from my feet come the end of winter.
I am so with you – I love the lingering sun, but am dreaming of cozy, snuggly things right now too. I saw the Scarpone at Eurostyle your Life in Fremont. Super cute and soft. I’m heading back to try one on soon, for sure.
Very clever but I could do with these now and what does the 70s feel like I forget. You have missed nothing over here I can tell you – a perpetual winter has been the weather pattern 🙁
I love, LOVE the Sciarpone…but I’m afraid to go look at the price. I want it!
Put it this way, it doesn’t help that the dollar is so weak. Though I don’t think the price is outrageous…(but that’s mainly because I still convert everything to pounds in my head).
