If ever there was a classic jumper, this is it! Cosy Cashmerino Aran yarn brings softness and warmth, with a sweet shawl collar, accent colour dipped hem, cuff and neckline and some sweet texture patterning around the chest and shoulders using simple twisted stitches. This is an heirloom that will be passed down from sibling to sibling and cousin to cousin!
