April in Paris is The Fibre Co.’s debut collection for the yarn Luma. There are six patterns inspired by the ‘City of Lights’ with each design taking its name from a Paris landmark.

Rue St. Antoine is named after a bustling east-west thoroughfare that begins at the Bastille in the heart of the Marais, one of the most popular neighbourhoods to shop and live in Paris. Wear your hand-knit Rue St. Antoine pullover on a visit to the Marais or to your favourite street for fashion, food and culture.

This loose slouchy look pullover is constructed from the top down in a seamless fashion with dropped shoulders, a wide neck and a lovely textured stitch on the front against a background of reverse stocking stitch. The sleeves are 3/4 length and the garment has side splits with a slightly longer back.
