The sweater is knitted all in one piece from cuff to cuff.
The black colourway uses black chenille and some lurex in deep
rich tones to go with lighter brightly coloured wools.
The dusky lacquer sweater (for which the colours are specified in the pattern) is almost all chenille, with wool in the hems and neck for elasticity.
