Icelandic Design Newari - Fall 2008 features the beauty of the Newari hand knit program in celebration of color and craftsmanship. A variety of special cardigans are knit in local wool, hand dyed in small kettles and knit by the Newari women's collective in Nepal. Design features include hand embroidery and patch work patterns, textural knit stitches and directional pattern play. This year we have included an offering hand knit in 100% cotton, emphasizing beautiful embroidery and soft wearability- extending this category for our non-wool wearing customer while maintaining the charm and beauty of the Newari tradition. Whether knit in wool or cotton, color speaks all to this collection: Rose, Amethyst and Lavender, Forest and Pear green, Turquoise and Lapis, Tomato, Strawberry and Cerise.
