The dreary coming of winter needs a splash of color to warm it up, but a cup of coffee or hot chocolate are also very much needed. Coffee Break is the sweater that gives you both! Worked in a stylish, deep-neck, raglan shape in a fingering weight wool/silk blend, this sweater is the right amount of warmth for early winter days. Those days when you still want to embrace a bit of spring, but need just a little something to ward off the chill. The color stripes on the sleeves cling to those last few days of summer color and give you just that bit of cheering up you need as you look forward to snow, skiing, and colder days. The sleeves are nice and long, offering a bit of warmth to ward off the coming chill. The best part? The thumb holes, so that while you stay cozy and warm, your sleeves will stay in place as you pick up your favorite mug!
