The Summer Tweed Collection

Fourteen designs by Kim Hargreaves

Yarns: Summer Tweed, our exciting new yarn launched for this spring/summer season, is made of 70% silk and 30% cotton. It is available in sixteen colours; oats, raffia, reed, rush, ghost, dew, powder, lilac, bouquet, cape, exotic, salad, gold, morning glory, sunset and nectar.

Description: Our models were photographed against backdrops, strolling down dusty tracks and lounging on lush verandahs, this gives for a very calm and relaxed atmosphere. Garments include fitted cardigans with stitch or belt details, vests with a scooped or v-neckline, a longline vest, cropped cabled sweater over sized sweater

Yarn Used: Rowan Summer Tweed
