INSPIRATION
On my walks along the paths at the weekend, a flower always caught my eye. I visualized it and thought that it could clearly be part of a yoke that would combine the change of color and the cables to emulate the branches that join the different groups of flowers. This flower is the Zizia aurea and it gives its name to this pullover.

INSPIRACIÓN
En mis paseos por caminos el fin de semana siempre me llamaba la atención una flor. La visualizaba y pensaba que podría ser claramente parte de un canesú que combinará el cambio de color y las trenzas para emular las ramas que unen los distintos grupos de flores. Esta flor es la Zizia aurea y como no podría ser de otra manera, da nombre a este jersey.
