Fiúise Pullover Kit, Pattern by Ailbiona McLochlainn
"Walking home at dusk, I often notice the fuchsia hedges that grow along the side of the road. As the light slowly drains from the sky, their dangling forms glow like jewels against the backdrop of evening shadows. Inspired by this imagery, Fiúise is a classic colourwork yoke pullover, with an intricate botanical motif reminiscent of folk embroidery. The name means fuchsia in Irish and is similarly pronounced."
This stunning colourwork pullover has been designed with our Banbha - Merino, Cashmere, Silk Donegal Tweed.
