Gorgeous hand-knit wool sweater in a fabulous shade of plum, full of beautiful handmade details. This sweater is cable-knit everywhere - front, back and sleeves! The level of detail and care is evident throughout the garment in the accuracy of these cable stitches, and we especially love the chunky collar and bit of extra length in this sweater - tuck it, belt it or slouch it, there are so many great options!
The fabric is fairly thick and very warm.
Washed and ready to wear, in excellent condition - no stains, holes or repairs.
Care: hand wash cool; lay flat to dry.
Measurements:
- 23” from neckline to hem
- 16” from underarm to hem
- 37” chest circumference (measured at underarm)
- 18.5" sleeve, from underarm to end of cuff
About our Vintage Knits:
We love giving vintage woolens and handmade knit and crochet items a new home! It's a great way to honor the work of these makers, and a sustainable way to shop.
We call this section "vintage knits" in that we don't generally know the age or provenance of these items, or the yarn that made them. Occasionally our shop's knit samples also make it in here!
We carefully select only the items that speak to us as beautiful and high-quality makes, and ensure they are in good condition. We check each one for minor repairs, and wash small items (hats, mittens, cowls) so that they'll be ready to wear or gift once you receive them.
All items are sold as-is; woolens and handmade items are perfectly imperfect, and we don't consider these defects, just the nature of a handmade wardrobe! We make every effort to include clear photos, measurements and descriptions; please review carefully and message us with any questions, as we cannot accept returns from our Vintage Knits category. We want you to love and enjoy each item here!
Hand wash all wool and handmade knit and crochet items in cool water with a mild soap like Soak. Wool is naturally antimicrobial, and hand knits last longer with less fuss and washing - just wear them and enjoy!
