As the winter chill sets in, it’s time to snuggle up with your knitting needles and embark on a cozy adventure. At inTANDEM, we’re thrilled to introduce our latest winter collection, and this time, it’s all about cables – the elegant twists that add depth and character to your knits.
We understand that cables might seem a bit intimidating, but here’s the secret: they’re not as scary as you think! In fact, they’re just regular old knits and purls worked out of order, and our progressively organized collection is designed to guide you through this journey.
