Mulberry silk and kid mohair create the perfect airy yarn for the Herbivore Pullover. This stunning sweater is worked with two strands of yarn held together throughout from the bottom up in pieces before joining to work the yoke in the round. A cable and eyelet rib pattern at the hem and wrists adds a pop of texture, and the pattern at the hem is topped with bobbles for extra fun!
