The Trail Hoodie is ideal for winter luxury. Made out of yarn that is the perfect partnering of Pure Yak Down and Super Fine Merino fiber, this hoodie will be both wonderful for the knitter to make and wear. The comfortable, classic shape is enhanced by detailed cables and a broken rib stitch throughout the piece. The added hood and pockets are the little details that will make this jacket a must have for any wardrobe. Here is texture and technique at its best!
