City sophistication meets cozy comfort with the Metropolitan Pullover.
The combination of 4ply and lace weight yarns create a delightfully light fabric using larger needles. The Metropolitan Pullover is a top-down contiguous construction that is worked seamlessly in the round to create a fit that mimics set-in sleeves. If you love the experience of top-down raglan, you will fall in love with this one! Eyelet increases and I-cord finishing give this pullover a soft and sophisticated touch. The sleeves can be worked either straight or tapered.

ORIGINS AND MANUFACTURE
Bérénice is a unique blend of extra-fine Angora goat fibres from South African farms committed to animal welfare and the soft, plump wool of our organic Merinos d'Arles, spun into loops around a strong, shiny silk yarn, then combed to give the desired tousled, voluminous look.
The yarn is then dyed using ecological dyes that comply with GOTS specifications to reduce its environmental impact. We manufacture this very special yarn in Italy, near Biella.
