The Enfys Sweater is a dreamy, softly textured design featuring a circular yoke worked from the top down. Knitted with one strand of lace weight yarn and one strand of silk mohair held together, it creates a light, airy fabric with a gentle halo and beautiful drape.

Named after the Welsh word Enfys, meaning rainbow, this sweater draws inspiration from subtle color shifts and gentle transitions — like quiet light appearing after the rain.

The motif from the neckband is mirrored on the hem and cuffs, giving the design a harmonious and cohesive finish.

The ease across sizes is 11-15.5 cm/4.5-6.25”. The picture shows size 3 with 13.5 cm/5.5” of positive ease.
