This beautiful design perfectly reflects the rich and lush character of its deep evergreen hue, reminiscent of the vibrant landscapes of Essex.

Knitted with Khullu yarn, a somptuous blend of untreated merino and yak, Essex is worked from the top-down. The upper body showcases smooth stockinette stitch, while the lower body and sleeves are embellished with the charming Cloverleaf eyelet pattern, adding an elegant touch of texture.
