Isabell has designed this sweater in Peerie, by Brooklyn Tweed. In keeping with their tradition of breed-specific all-American yarns, Brooklyn Tweed sourced Merino wool from Nevada and Utah and spun it with a 4-ply worsted construction into a springy and soft fingering-weight yarn. (Read more about breed-specific Merino on the Brooklyn Tweed blog.) We’ve got a huge selection of colors in stock, so come in and pick a fun color pairing for this yoke sweater.
