CURVATURE is a cozy yet elegant cardigan that, apropos of its name, is full of curved lines. Beginning with the drape of the front panels, curves are also used in the dart shaping on the back, giving the sweater a lovely shape regardless of whether it is worn buttoned or left open! Even the placement of the buttons are in a curved line!

Knit in Woolfolk Flette, the incredibly soft and supple Woolfolk superfine merino wrapped to create a luxurious boucle, the resulting fabric is simply amazing! Wearing CURVATURE is like wrapping yourself in a big hug!
