NOVITA EDITH: Ilo Sweater

Seamlessly worked from the top down,
this raglan sweater is a trusted piece worth investing in.
The clean, unhurried lines of the Ilo Sweater give space
for the luxurious material to take centre stage,
while Novita Edith silk mohair creates a beautifully soft,
airy texture with a gentle halo. The same pattern offers
three different expressions — knitted with one,
two, or three strands of mohair held together —
allowing you to choose the balance of lightness
and depth that feels right to you.
