Amami Oshima is an island in Japan where tsumugi silk production originated and it is known to be home for habu snakes. “Habu” is also a namesake for the company which yarn is used in creation of this pullover. This oversized silk sweater with rustic-looking texture boasts amazing drape and movement along the body. Loose and lightweight, yet very flattering this pullover is right on trend. Instructions provided are easy to follow and as body worked in one piece several tips are included on how to customize width and number of your colored stripes.
