Simply Distressed

Overlap Shoulder Sweater

Slim and cropped, cross-over shoulder sweater from Icelandic wool, cut as two piece, with set in sleeves, with overlapped boat-neck shaping over the deltoid. Draped entirely on a K&L 38 stand and on the body of 

a man named Emil in Reykjavik.

It was then that I knew, this sweater, like my night, was easy.

It was once a sheep, lost in the awkward grassed hills that cover Iceland, that gave its coat for yours.  These sheep*, genetically unique to Iceland, are annually tracked down on foot, herded in by the children of the men and women of the country, and shorn.  The wool is carded, spun and knitted in here to our design.
