Wesser is a textured, crew neck pullover with gentle waist shaping and a slightly cropped length. Morning Star Fiber’s Julianna Yarn adds a soft halo that enhances the coziness of this sweater. Morning Star Fibers is a family owned mill based in Andrews, NC, near Wesser Bald—a lookout in the Nantahala National Forest, near the Appalachian Mountain Range. Fibers are sourced from local farms and every yarn is processed in their family-run mill, with a focus on making high quality yarns for knitters, weavers and other fiber artists!
