An everyday wearable sweater with a comfortable high neck, big ballooning sleeves for a bold look that drapes over so so nicely.
A stunning blend of Alpaca, Wool, and Linen for a crispy delicate hand feel.
Kota explains "I’d just started to think it was time to properly focus on the collection, I encountered this yarn. It’s an Italian yarn that mixes soft wool alpaca with a raw, almost “alive” linen. I fell for it instantly and knew I had to use it.
Later, when I was thinking about what kind of shape would suit it, I naturally pictured a form with a gently cinched hem, softly puffed sleeves, and a collar that stands up in a relaxed, fluid way — so that became the design. To give the sleeves more dimension, It's increased and decreased stitches halfway along the arm, using a very knit-specific kind of technique.
It made me really happy, because it felt like the yarn itself was teaching me a shape that had never appeared in Kota Gushiken before."
