On even the chilliest of days, little ones can enjoy the fresh air feeling cosy and warm in the Wheat Fields Jumper. Knitted with Scheepjes Metropolis, this machine-washable blend of 75% Extra Fine Merino Wool and 25% Nylon creates durable, lightweight garments that are exceptionally soft against the skin. Designer Irene has added a joyful touch to this simply shaped garment by embroidering stems of wheat in vibrant shades of Scheepjes Softfun. The brightly coloured kernels, made with lazy daisy stitches, provide a delightful contrast to the lightly heathered tones of Metropolis.
