Named after the finnish word for soft-serve ice cream, the Pehmis Sweater is a cloud-like dream in light pink. This design celebrates the interplay of texture, pairing the rhythmic geometry of broken rib with winding cables.

The combination of Aara Mieli, a merino sock yarn, and Hieno, a silk mohair, held together creates a beautiful, luminous fabric that feels as soft as it looks. Pehmis Sweater is a modern classic designed for those who love beauty in textural details.

Designed in collaboration with Aara Yarn!
