The Design

Designed by Lisa Richardson for Rowan’s Tweed Haze Collection, this stunning, top-down colorwork sweater balances perfectly between modern and classic. A diamond-patterned yoke hugs your shoulders, while a stand-up ribbed collar keeps you cozy—sure to be a favorite, winter after winter.

Whisk was knit in four colors of Rowan Tweed Haze, a bulky-weight blend of South African mohair and super-fine alpaca, supported by polyamide, cotton, and polyester. All along the bouncy, chainette-style strand, contrasting flecks peek out of a romantic, fuzzy halo, lending a fun, floofy, tweedy touch to this sweater’s colorwork diamonds!
