Description
The jacket in the photo is knitted with one thread Shelter, Brooklyn tweed and one thread Tilia, Filcolana. I love the rustic look that the Shelter wool yarn gives, while the Mohair yarn Tilia, makes the jacket even more comfortable and soft. But as mentioned further down, the options are many when it comes to yarn choices, depending on the type of expression desired.
The jacket comes in 7 sizes. The jacket is slightly folded in and is designed with a positive ease of 14 cm/5.5″.
