From Beautiful Sweaters for Men:

"The combination of the silk and wool tweed yarn, with its dyed-to-match rayon and cotton are reminiscent of a Navajo rug and has inspired a number of variations already. The fun with this sweater is in individualizing the colors and swatching to find the perfect color order."
