Taking a unique twist on a long sweater, Lemondrop has an open front that is joined at the bust by a woven cable, which is balanced by complementary cables on the back and sleeves. Valley Yarns Northfield gives this piece incredible softness and drape along with crisp stitch definition. You won’t want to take it off.
