Brooklyn Tweed’s bulky-weight Quarry gives this top a nicely boxy and architectural look. To this, an asymmetrical collar has been added for a unique touch. Working through front and back loops, as well as seaming on the right side of the piece creates great lines too. This wool holds its shape well, while also being very lightweight, so even though this is a heavier wool, it doesn’t feel heavy while wearing the top. The added bonus to working with bulky wool is that it crochets in a flash. Add a pop of colour by choosing some interesting large buttons for the collar .
