Mara Sweater
This beautiful sweater is all about contrast and texture. Mara is the name of a mountain in Greenland which is the closest known mountain to the North Pole. The Greenland Ice Sheet is rapidly melting and increasing the rise of sea levels. The design uses ice blue Cashmerino Aran in stocking stitch, contrasting with a white mountain peak worked in cables.
The Lovely Landscape collection is inspired by climate change and the impact on wildlife and for every pattern sold from the collection, we’re donating £1 to World Land Trust until August 2021. World Land Trust protects the world’s most biologically significant and threatened habitats acre by acre.
