Iceberg
A blend of traditional Shetland and Newfoundland knitting, this sweater is designed to look good for any colour palette, with simple two-colour stranded work for the yoke. The wide neck allows for comfort, while also making dressing and undressing easier. Like any wool sweater, not only does this one look good but it is also a functional outer garment, especially for chilly fall days.
