Opula
Opula is a colourwork yoke jumper, worked seamlessly from the top down. It features stranded knitting in two colours on the yoke, hem and cuffs. The neckband, hem and cuffs are worked in the contrast colour.
The design is inspired by the flowing, sinuous lines and ornamentation of Art Nouveau design, crossing and intersecting like an abstracted form of roots and vines.
