Panels of leaf motifs, climbing ladders of lace and an unusual textured rib call to mind the wild grasses and flowers of the prairies. This rustic, homespun feel is complemented by the golden-yellow shade of Rowan’s popular Handknit Cotton, a DK-weight yarn with a matt finish that’s machine- washable. Designed by Sarah Hatton, the long-sleeved jumper has a deep, scooped neckline and would look as good dressed down with a pair of jeans as it would with a feminine skirt.
