What better way to wrap up Cozy Week than with a plethora of goods that almost scream and demand a gentle, soft slowing down. Rest, reset, relax and find your perfect pace, no matter what that looks like – especially on Saturdays and Sundays.

From DIY kits for beginners, fully fashioned clothing and accessories, to blankets and home accents, Shoppe Object offers plenty of knits to fall for.
