From the Knit Rowan website:
Originally featured in Magazine 72, this classic sweater by Quail Studio uses three shades of Kidsilk Haze, held double throughout to create a beautiful marl effect. Simple stocking stitch allows the yarn and colour to take centre stage of this elegant long-sleeved sweater. Perfect for cosy everyday wear.

Nova has previously featured in Rowan Magazine 72 in a different colourway.
