Imagine wandering through a golden field of wheat, sunlight filtering through each stalk, casting intricate shadows and creating delicate patterns on the ground. This is the essence behind the Fall Wheat sweater. Inspired by the elegant form and movement of wheat in the breeze, this third version translates nature’s texture into an exquisite lace motif, capturing that organic flow on every stitch.
Crafted in a warm, earthy hue, this piece combines simplicity with sophistication. The lace pattern mimics the structure of wheat—strong, yet graceful—making it a cozy homage to the beauty found in fields. It's a sweater that carries the spirit of nature’s harvest, reinterpreted in a design that’s both timeless and wearable.
