A classic V-neck pullover is a wardrobe essential you’ll treasure. Even better when created by hand using a stunning yarn like Cassatt. With a brushed texture and a color palette reminiscent of impressionist paintings, this yarn is amplified by simple stitch patterns and silhouettes. Kepler is a sophisticated sweater worked primarily in soothing stockinette stitch, with a contrast color used on the hem of the sleeves and the neckband. Kepler oozes effortless style with nods to academic inspiration.
