Desert Sunrise Sweater
Desert Sunrise Sweater
This sweater is a collaboration with Blue Mule Fiber. The beautiful fingering weight yarn is a blend of Mulberry Silk and Extra Fine Superwash Merino Wool. This blend gives the piece a sheen and softness you have to feel for yourself. This design came into creation and Blue Mule Fiber had the perfect colors to make it happen. There is stranded colorwork throughout the entire piece. The yoke has a retro feel with some southwest inspired designs. The length of the body and the arms have dotted lines that add that pop of color that you can’t take your eyes off of.
