The Virginie Sweater boasts an intricate, cabled yoke that punctuates an already lovely design created from our organic merino wool.  Emulate the runway styling by pairing with a pencil skirt or leggings and boots. Shown in Eucalyptus Bark but available in any shade from our natural palette. Hand spun, naturally hand dyed and knit in Rwanda by the women of Handspun Hope.

This design requires 64 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 sweater.

Named after our dye master, Virginie, who has worked for Handspun Hope in Rwanda since 2008. You can learn more about Virginie and other women working for the organization here.
