Sometimes sheer talent just walks through your door. That’s what happened to us when Simone Merchant-Dest, a knitwear designer, approached us about designing a pattern line exclusively for WoolWinders.

She asked if there were any areas we felt were neglected in the pattern world, and our response was immediate: Designs for children beyond the toddler age. She rose to the occasion with style and finesse. Her line, TIME 4 STYLE, is targeted to boys and girls ages 8-14. Her first design? An adorable dress and matching bag, made from the incredibly wearable CASCADE SIERRA.

And now she is busy at work on a cardigan for boys made from ROWAN CASHSOFT. All of Simone’s designs will be created from machine washable, easy care yarns. She is, after all, the mother of three, and understands how important such things are! Stay tuned for more of her wonderful creations.
