Andrea Mowry just dropped a brand new sweater design that is already making waves! (I am kinda obsessed). This the Metamorphic Sweater and it is designed in Spincycle Dyed in the Wool. We are excited to offer you a unique combo of Dyed in the Wool and De Rerum Natura Ulysse for this striped pullover that is size inclusive. The sweater is designed to display the “wrong side” with faux seams on the center of front and back as well as the sleeves. It is knit from the top down in reverse stockinette stitch stripes (don’t worry the sweater is knit inside out so you won’t be purling the whole thing)!
