Heyday is named for that golden moment when everything feels bright and beautiful — a time of joy, ease, and flourishing.

This spring cardigan captures that feeling in yarn form: light yet cozy, relaxed yet flattering. The easy drape, soft batwing sleeves, and flowing lace create a piece that feels effortless to wear and satisfying to make. Heyday is an invitation to slow down, notice the beauty in the details, and enjoy your own creative moment in the sun.
