A self-titled album is about simplicity, identity, and an invitation to engage with the art as a representation of the artist. This chunky, seamless, top-down sweater design is a simple, authentic expression of the Dear Pru ethos: empowering knitters to create their own Slow Fashion, and improve their ‘wool-being’. Riff on this design with colour blocking, embroidery or a cropped hem to make it uniquely yours.
