1980s White Hand Knitted Cable Knit Sweater
The cosiest knit for fall and winter— you can never go wrong with a classic cable knit! This fisherman-style sweater features a timeless design with a ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem, and beautifully contrasting cable knit patterns throughout. Crafted from a soft and light acrylic yarn blend, it offers all the warmth without the itch, making it a perfect choice for layering up in cooler weather.
Condition: Excellent. The bottom section of the sweater features an ombre colour effect. This area has been soaked and treated with no change, suggesting the effect may be due to UV fading / variations in storage conditions or the use of different yarn by the knitter.
