Novita Edith: Ilo Sweater
Seamlessly worked from the top down, this raglan sweater is a trusted piece worth investing in. The clean, unhurried lines of the Ilo Sweater give space for the luxurious material to take centre stage, while Novita Edith silk mohair creates a beautifully soft, airy texture with a gentle halo. The same pattern offers three different expressions — knitted with one, two, or three strands of mohair held together — allowing you to choose the balance of lightnessand depth that feels right to you.
