Cabled thistle motifs march across the textured reverse stockinette stitch background of Lavin, set off by a crisp border of ribbing. Worked from point to top edge, Lavin’s asymmetrical triangular shape and generous size make it a cozy companion to ward off winter’s chill. Lavin’s dramatic drape, superb softness, and crisp stitch definition are intensified when worked in Peerie’s worsted spun Merino wool.
