The Design

“Airy, effortless style.”

This quick-to-knit sweater is airy and lightweight. Loose ribbing at the hem and cuffs gives it a lived-in look! Holding three strands of lace-weight yarn together—two mohair, one smooth—we chose high contrast colors for a smudgy marl. Closer tones will render a soft, pretty wash of color for a more tonal look.

We knit this Easy Relaxed Pullover holding two strands of Isager Silk Mohair together with one strand of Alpaca 1. One a lace-weight blend of kid mohair and silk, the other a lace-weight strand of 100% baby alpaca, they unite into a soft, airy fabric. The weightless halo of Silk Mohair is grounded by the soft drape of Alpaca 1 for a very pretty, oh, so comfy sweater.
