The Design

“Sheer, pretty appeal.”

We wanted a relaxed weekend sweater that was oversized, yet supremely lightweight. This huggable pullover is what we came up with! The flattering, soft ‘V’ neckline and short-row shaped cuffs keep the generous scale from becoming overwhelming.

We held four strands of lace-weight Rowan Kidsilk Haze together to give this sweater a sheer, pretty appeal. An airy mohair, Kidsilk Haze is a weightless blend of super kid mohair and silk that comes in an absolutely sweeping color palette. We’re dreaming of marling two colors together, adding depth to this Pullover’s lovely fuzz!
