The weight and texture has made them a favorite knit and it's become impossible to pass up a vintage cashmere while cruising a good estate sale.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxWqFgJ2L2gPypzh9mNL55ar56b4lbI-OAfiJzH_-uJbcsEOAtDXozVccOZFk7cs8OnRSCOr6o_6f0Nr4Ypos1V5RpCR1tnEmf9VYbMTrEB3kqcd0y8D-o62y0aXB4Tc71DzeSTUPNnwQ3/s1600/Slide2.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="beaded sweater" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666732876336141362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxWqFgJ2L2gPypzh9mNL55ar56b4lbI-OAfiJzH_-uJbcsEOAtDXozVccOZFk7cs8OnRSCOr6o_6f0Nr4Ypos1V5RpCR1tnEmf9VYbMTrEB3kqcd0y8D-o62y0aXB4Tc71DzeSTUPNnwQ3/s400/Slide2.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 375px;" /></a><br />Recently I came across a great video for a recent exhibition, "From Hawick to Hollywood: the Women who wore Pringle". This looks at mid-century Pringle knits and is exhibited in Hawick, Scotland where Pringle is made. Wallace Shaw, who designed for Pringle between 1972 and 1978 shares his impressions about Pringle during that time. The gorgeous sweaters shown here are all from that video. <br /><br />The Pringle webpage and video are <a href=" http://www.pringlescotland.com/fcp/content/heritage-hth/collection">”HERE”</a>. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLk4Ffin33hVGQHe0DMYUAKePYzwE1IoehFUD02DMcCK8Fkw4Vr8UBJWWmmW9V9GCc4FIAMu4r6kOxvzyTnSCXZaH6MS7et7-xOZGiQVbrNb60CdGXudtYyGUtll6eA_xMAZDsWI3LX0Bz/s1600/Slide3.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="beaded sweaters" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666732808013400834" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLk4Ffin33hVGQHe0DMYUAKePYzwE1IoehFUD02DMcCK8Fkw4Vr8UBJWWmmW9V9GCc4FIAMu4r6kOxvzyTnSCXZaH6MS7et7-xOZGiQVbrNb60CdGXudtYyGUtll6eA_xMAZDsWI3LX0Bz/s400/Slide3.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 375px;" /></a><br />Don't these gorgeous cashmere knits make you want seek out Pringles? I know I do!<br />Also, I have to credit Lizzie at <a href=" http://thevintagetraveler.wordpress.com/?s=cashmere">”The Vintage Traveler”</a> for sending me on this little journey into Scottish textiles. I have enjoyed every minute, and will share more with you later.

Fall Cardys: Vintage sweaters

This year, with all of the dresses, we wanted to feature a few 'girly' sweaters that have a vintage vibe to them.<br /><br />Going with basic black? Not here! Our black cardy is splashed in black sequins for a not so subtle 50's style feature. We show it over a dress, but I know that jeans and an Tee would be great too.<br /><br />On the softer side, a pale mauve with light frills can give any outfit the vintage look. Nearly Victorian in style, this version is a bolero cardy with sass.<br /><br />Mod but not too loud? This white cardy with cut rhinestones is so lux and indy. It breaks up the red print in a refined way, that still has a sense of humour.<br /><br />Plain cardys? Not us!<br /><br />These and more are in the shop and online at our ETSY shop: pintuckstyle.etsy.com<br />Shop hours: we are now open MORE hours this fall--<br />Wednesday and Thursday from 11 to 3 <br />and <br />Friday and Saturday from noon to 6.<br /><br />The shop has added a huge new inventory (seriously) along with a re-model, so we are 'chilling' our sewing classes for awhile and concentrating on our home accessories and new product lines that take the shop beyond just vintage fashion into great gifts and things.<br /><br />Drop by or see us online.
