Oakwood Poncho Kits in Inspiring Colorways

Do you love the Oakwood Poncho? It’s been one of the best selling patterns from our 2015 Fall Collection, Twist and Tweed. As soon as it came out, the colors of Wool of the Andes Worsted Yarn that the pattern called for began flying off the shelves, so we put together some kits with alternative colorways we think would make equally stunning Oakwood Ponchos. Save some money by buying a project kit, and cast on for a garment you’re sure to reach for again and again, this season!
