Stonewash

The *Stonewash* sweater balances urban calm with tactile luxury. Its muted grey-beige tone recalls weathered stone and foggy mornings, while an intricate textured pattern adds subtle depth and movement. Crafted from a blend of superfine Merino, brushed alpaca, silk and yak, the oversized pullover offers a softly lived-in sheen and fluid drape, making it ideal for layering from everyday wear to more polished looks.

One strand of each yarn is held together throughout. The entire body is worked in the Texture Pattern based on simple twists. Knitting begins at back neck and increases to the full width of the back. Then stitches are picked up for the fronts along the sloped shoulders. The sections are joined first at neck, then at the underarm and the body is then knitted all in one piece down to the 1 x 1 Rib hem. Stitches are picked up around the neck which is then finished with a 1 x 1 Rib funnel cowl neck. The sleeve stitches are picked up from the body and worked in the Texture Pattern down to the 1 x 1 Rib cuff.
