Like a quiet path through the woods, with the morning light shining through branches, Aili offers stillness and warmth with every stitch. Worked in two strands of feather-light silk mohair, its ribbed fabric holds the softness of moss underfoot and the calm
of trees standing tall around you.

With drop shoulders and a folded collar, this sweater is a gentle layer: easy to wear and perfect for moments of rest.
