Scope and content
Round neck knitted jumper in cream, bone and three shades of brown wool and alpaca mix yarn. It has sections of pattern in combinations of two colours around the neck, hem and sleeve cuffs of triangles and diamonds, knitted using the Fair Isle (fairisle) technique. The section of pattern around the neck, upper chest and back and shoulders as well as around the cuffs has been reversed so the 'wrong' side is showing with long loops of yarn. Large white Margiela and H&M label in the back of the neck.
