Kaizen is the Japanese word for ‘continuous improvement,’ and that is the idea that inspired Renée Callahan to create this beautiful sweater knit in Acadia. Here the traditional cardigan shape is improved with four pockets and garter stitch details on the collar and pocket flaps. Fibre Company Acadia, a stunning blend of Merino, baby alpaca, and silk, shines in this classic design. It has a slight tweedy appearance because the silk takes the dye slightly differently.
