The Cumulus Blouse O-neck is a soft, floaty sweater with a relaxed silhouette and a beautifully refined finish. It’s worked seamlessly from the top down in stockinette stitch, using two strands of fine silk/mohair held together throughout, creating a light, airy fabric with a gentle halo.
The round neckline and delicate i-cord edging give this design its signature elegance. It’s the kind of garment that feels effortless to wear, but unmistakably special.

Think:
Silk mohair
Brushed lace
Fine alpaca/silk blends
The fabric is light, warm, and airy — not dense or heavy.
Because two strands are held together, the total metreage below already accounts for both strands.
