As daylight savings approaches in Australia, the days grow longer, the evenings stretch out, and that little chill starts to fade. This transitional period is the ideal time to create something special for those breezy afternoons and cool evenings. Why not knit a lightweight yet cozy garment or accessory that’s perfect for the changing season?

Choosing the right yarn for this in-between weather is key. Here are some top picks from Wrapped In Fibre’s premium range that will elevate your project:
