The intricate detail and lovely draped split sleeve of the Aimeé Olive Sweater make this a great look for a day shopping with friends or a dinner out. The soft neckline and wide side tie at the hips give this design an irresistibly feminine style. Shown in Indigo but available in any shade from our natural palette.

This design requires 56 hours for one woman to knit by hand. This time is not inclusive of the laborious task of creating the yarn and hand dyeing it organically. Please allow 8 weeks for the delivery of this custom-created design.

Named after Aimeé Olive who works in Rwanda for Handspun Hope. You can read more about Aimeé Olive's story and the other women working for the organization here.

Due to the nature of our handmade garments, sizes XL through 4XL will require additional raw materials and labor for creation. Please email us for a personal quote, noting size and item desired.

Our Ethiopian cotton is sourced from a women's cooperative in Addis Ababa. There, the ladies hand spin cotton on drop spindles. The cotton is then imported into Rwanda where the women working for Handspun Hope ply and dye the yarn.

Handspun Hope is a sustainable fashion brand committed to ethically-sourced materials and minimal environmental impact.
