DARIO TUBIANA’S latest design is yoked sweater with a feminine shape and a colourful fabric. He has used stripes of different thicknesses, check patterns and 10 different colours to create a bright and playful effect. The body is knitted in the round from the bottom up, then joined with the sleeves to work the wide-necked yoke. The fabric feels incredibly light; it’s knitted in Rowan’s Alpaca Classic, which is formed from a cotton chainette tube filled with soft alpaca fibre.
