Welcome to Marlin sweater.

The Marlin Sweater is a top-down, seamless design featuring elegant drop shoulder construction and beautifully cabled sleeves. Inspired by the graceful lines and subtle textures of the surgeonfish, this sweater is a great choice for lace and cable lovers.
Knit in one piece from the neckline down, it offers a comfortable and elegant fit. The combination of clean stockinette and intricate cables makes Marlin both engaging to knit and effortless to wear — a timeless piece that flows as smoothly as the sea itself.
