While designing the Morning Mist sweater, Ayano Tanaka imagined a morning mist rising from the river with the scenery just faintly visible beyond it. She arranged the soft cable patterns to create a similar feathery effect. The cables create beautiful flowing lines on the body and the sleeves of this crew-neck, drop-shoulder jumper.
