The Barrens Sweater was designed for the enigmatic landscapes in Newfoundland known as “The Barrens” (actually a sub-arctic tundra) that look desolate from afar, but from within are vibrant areas full of resilience and life. This design plays with scale and texture as homage to these, my favourite landscapes.

This sweater is knit top down, in the round, with a circular yoke construction and corrugated ribbing at the cuff, collar and hem. It is available in nine gender neutral adult sizes with an intended positive ease of 2-4”.
