“NAMED FOR the Norse goddess, this straight seamless cardigan is adorned with cables on the body and has a shawl collar,” says Linda Marveng. “As well as contrasting textures, this design uses colour blocking, with four contrasting shades of Rowan’s Felted Tweed. The darkest shade is used for the bottom hem, the i-cord collar edges and for the decorative i-cord around the top of the shoulder. The lightest colour is for the collar tuck, while the last contrast colour is for the collar itself.”
