Chamomile Using Rowan Cotton Wool
The Design
This wrap-style cardigan exudes the same comfort as a hot cup of chamomile tea! Designed by Erika Knight for Rowan’s Bloom One collection (and with mums and mums-to-be in mind) this piece has a clever, easy-to-wear shape knit in a nice, squishy, rib. A wide, knit belt gives it a robe-like finish!
Chamomile was knit in lightweight, oh, so soft Rowan Cotton Wool—a beautiful worsted-weight blend of organic cotton and merino wool. Cotton Wool’s chainette-style strand gives structure to this airy, breathable fiber combo. It’s perfect for comfy, cuddly sweaters!
