Bold, graphic, and completely unforgettable — Ardent by Kindred Red is the kind of top that stops a room. A striking introduction to intarsia colorwork that doesn't feel intimidating, this piece plays with color in the most unexpected and satisfying ways: vertical colorblocking on the front, thick stripes framing a deconstructed sunburst semicircle on the back, ruffled drop-shoulder sleeves, and a double neck that ties it all together into something that feels genuinely artistic.
The construction is as clever as the design — worked flat from front hem to shoulder and back down again, with the ruffled sleeves picked up directly from the armhole. Boxy and easy-wearing with a lowered back hem and split sides, this is the top you put on when you want to feel like yourself, but louder.
We paired Ardent with our Equinox Sport — a 75% Silk, 25% Linen blend that was practically made for a top like this. The silk brings luminosity and drape that makes every colorblock glow, while the linen grounds it with enough structure and breathability for warm-weather wearing. Three colors, one showstopper.
Be sure to use our quick size guide (last pic in the carousel) to find your kit and see how many skeins are included!
