From Canvasbacks, this is a fantastic open fancy weave sweater knit, a viscose/linen blend in a beautiful grape color (18-3834). There's much more texture and interest in real life! Has some sweatery give in width but is stable in the length, with a lovely drape. Make a cardigan, pullover, top, sweater dress, tunic, scarf, etc! Fantastic and versatile for spring/summer. If you want to try hand-washing, please test first.
