Let your imagination take flight in your latest yoke sweater, inspired the powerful pinions of all flighted birds (and of course those mystical beasts of the air, if you prefer). Be you angel, Pegasus, bright macaw, wandering albatross or mysterious Raven, you can choose your yarn to suit your match your inner wing with this flight of fancy.
