The mohair gives a silky soft halo and a light warmth without weight. The half brioche creates extra volume and stretch, while the bobbles add depth and an exclusive handmade look.

Block the sweater lightly after washing to bring out the half brioche and the bobble texture. Go for a one-colour styling that lets the texture and the silhouette have all the attention.
