Information
The Tresse Sweater is a hand knitted raglan sweater with half length sleeves, made using two strands of Dale Kidsilk Erle. The clean stocking stitch is complemented by elegant cable details in the ribbing, creating a timeless and sophisticated garment.
Each sweater is hand knitted to order. The soft blend of mohair, silk and wool creates a lightweight, warm and comfortable fabric with beautiful drape. The half length sleeves make it ideal from spring through autumn, and it pairs equally well with jeans, skirts and dresses.
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 a different colour or have any questions about delivery times.
