Telopea sweater
Lightness, elegance and sweetness have met! This little mohair sweater is all about simplicity and romanticism. Its main features are delicacy achieved by using a mohair yarn, lovely frilly bottom which curls up like flower petals, decorative cuffs and embroidered, plump roses all over the body. Telopea is a flower, so allow it to bloom on your needles! Its easy construction and small size allows us to quickly delight in a finished project.
