Information
The Straw Sweater is a hand knitted sweater made in DROPS Kid-Silk, DROPS Flora and one strand of DROPS Merino Extra Fine. The soft off white base combined with the delicate straw motif creates an elegant and timeless Scandinavian look.
Each sweater is hand knitted to order. The yarn combination creates a soft, lightweight and warm garment that is equally suited for everyday wear, relaxed weekends and cooler days throughout much of the year. The decorative straw motif and cable raglan details give the sweater a distinctive yet understated character.
The sweater can be ordered in a wide range of colours in addition to those shown in the shop. Please get in touch if you would like different colours or have any questions about delivery times.
