Orchid from Rowan Textured Tweed Haze is a gorgeous must-have women’s pullover knit in Tweed Haze, a fuzzy and color-filled yarn blend of mohair, alpaca, polyamide, cotton, and polyester that is airy and light. The sweater features an easygoing style using color placement to emphasize the relaxed saddle shoulder and delightful three-quarter-length sleeves. Orchid is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed.
