Cline Using Brooklyn Tweed Shelter
The Design
This loose-fitting sweater, designed by the talented Julie Hoover, makes the most of a modern silhouette. With simple, yet effective, design details, Cline is a dolman sweater with deep raglan shaping. Three-quarter length sleeves lend a soft restraint to the boxy structure.
We think Cline would shine in one of our favorite woolen-spun yarns—Brooklyn Tweed Shelter. Worsted-weight and spun from 100% Wyoming-grown Targhee-Columbia fleece, Shelter is multi-talented. Not only does it have beautiful stitch definition, it achieves a characteristic lofty spring. And Brooklyn Tweed’s extensive color range makes it easy for you to find your favorite!
