Hebridean Obscurus
Transitional seasons inspired the silhouette of this design. Whilst still being woolly and warm, splits in the sides and a slash neck design features allow cool breezes to penetrate the jumper on the warmer days, and still having a lot of layering potential. The casual fit of a dropped shoulder is smartened up with fitted rib sleeves. Twisted stitches cover the entire front and back pieces, their detail and intricacy hidden within the beautiful natural Hebridean wool tones. The jumper is knit in pieces, from the bottom up and sewn up at the end. The slits can be sewn to your preference of not at all.
There is a hidden depth of intricate cable within the colours and textures of the natural Hebridean fibre. Often being advised not to work cables in a dark yarn, I couldn’t resist the mystic behind this yarn.
