The Minas Sweater is a playful celebration of color, featuring an engaging 1x1 stranded colorwork design that captivates us with its rhythmic patterns and constant shifts.

We crafted it using our latest yarn, Ideal, a 100% Polwarth wool yarn that is bred, spun, and hand-dyed locally in Uruguay.

The sweater’s straightforward shape ensures that the vibrant and diverse palette of our new yarn takes center stage. We’re excited to see the unique versions you create!
