by Ursalia Fibres Studio
This sweater is inspired by the way sunlight cascades through the trees and comes in through a window, like it’s going through a prism. This is the ideal sweater to wear when reading a good book next to that window with the light shining through. Cables have something inherently vintage and romantic about them and when the temperature starts to drop their coziness and the way they cocoon one is oh so desirable. The cascading pattern on the back echoes the covers of vintage books and gives this beautiful sweater its name; Ex Libris!
