This stunning TRANSLUCENT pullover is knit from DK weight wool yarn and lace weight mohair and silk yarn stripes for a light weight, wear-anywhere pullover. The idea of simple wool and mohair striping is only enhanced by the amazing hand-dyed Viola Yarns by Emily Foder.
You can use any one of a number of DK choices coupled with a similar or contrasting color mohair silk to achieve a sophisticated or more fun loving look. The sweater can be knit in a shorter or longer version. And did I mention pockets? Oh yes, and side vents!
I am living in this sweater, now that it has gotten cooler and I even sent one to Emily, so that she could have one to wear now that it is snowing in Mooresburg!
