Collection Spotlight: Power Play

The Power Play collection is all about contrast — strength and softness, structure and drape, everyday staples and eye-catching details. Designed with a modern, wearable edge, each piece showcases the unique characteristics of the featured yarns, blending unexpected fibers like silk and linen with laid-back silhouettes and contemporary stitchwork.

Let’s take a closer look at each pattern in the collection:

Like its name suggests, Effervescence is bubbly and breezy — a sideways knit tee with a subtle eyelet motif, topped with a puff sleeve shrug that feels effortlessly feminine. This set is knit in our favorite warm weather yarns, Sandcastle and Dunescape.

Ethereal lives up to its name. This wrap is feather-light. The minimalist stitch patterns let the yarn shine, especially in Rico Design’s Make it Tweed, which practically floats off the needles, paired with Rico Design’s Super Cotton DK to keep it grounded.

Magnetic is an oversized polo with bold energy — a piece that pulls you in with its texture. The slouchy sleeves and drop shoulder construction create a relaxed silhouette that’s all about impact. It’s cozy yet breathable, thanks to the combination of Fibra Natura Flax and Rico Design Essentials Super Kid Mohair Loves Silk Glamorous Glitter, and it brings instant cool to anything from jeans to slip skirts.

Wonder and Whimsy take accessorizing to a daring new level. This two-piece set offers maximum versatility and charm. The shawl features drop stitches framed by bold textured chains, while the kerchief adds a layer of casual cool with its mosaic colorwork. Wear them together for a coordinated moment, or mix and match with your wardrobe. Rico Design Luxury Natural Silk Blend adds a lux touch while the bright colors of Fonty Soyeuse give a beachy vibe to both pieces.

Each design in the Power Play collection offers something special — whether it’s a hint of sparkle, a pop of color, or a perfectly placed puff sleeve. Unified by their thoughtful construction and playful edge, these knits are modern wardrobe builders designed to celebrate the duality in all of us: soft yet strong.

Keep on crafting on!
