From the description: This waist-length backwarmer is a perfect in-between-season garment. The hand-dyed wool is light and lofty, lovely to work with and to wear. It is knitted in two pieces, seamed at the back and is pulled across at the front to close with a slide, toggle or brooch. Sizes are made by changing needles rather than number of stitches and rows knitted - beautifully simple, simply beautiful.
