Welcome to quiet volume sweater!

Quiet Volume Sweater is a seamless, top-down round yoke design that combines sculptural cables with a clean, effortless silhouette.
The lace and cable motifs shape the yoke through integrated increases, creating a harmonious flow from neckline to body. After completing the yoke, short rows refine the fit before sleeves and body are separated.
The relaxed proportions and generous sleeve volume give the sweater its understated elegance. The lower body is worked in smooth stockinette stitch, allowing the textured yoke to stand out while maintaining a modern, wearable look.
Sleeve and body length can easily be adjusted to suit personal preference.
Quiet Volume is designed to feel light, feminine, and effortlessly stylish — a statement piece that remains calm and refined.

Tibetan grows a lot after washing and blocking. It’s a very soft yarn, but peels a bit whilst wearing.

another tester used the merino + by lang yarns (90m/50g) with a great result, but this sweater will be heavier.
