Subtle lines of twisted ribbing score the surface of the Avesso pullover, giving definition to the boxy drop-shoulder silhouette with cap or optional full-length sleeves. Exposed bind-offs, reversible short-row shaping, and gently curving rolled hems refine the unisex fit and add textural interest – for bolder contrast, wear Avesso inside-out to display the ribbed panels and exposed seams to full effect, highlighted by Arbor’s springy worsted-spun twist or Dapple’s tonal woolen-spun softness.
