Citrine
INSTANTLY RECOGNISABLE as a Kaffe Fassett original design, ‘Citrine’ features puff sleeves, extended fitted cuffs in a striped ribbing pattern, and a cropped waistline. Worked using both the Fair Isle and intarsia techniques, Kaffe’s design uses four colours of Rowan Felted Tweed, and incorporates a sparkling thread of DMC Diamant to highlight details on the flower motifs.
