MARTIN STOREY has designed a
sculptural cable panel to decorate
his latest sweater pattern, and it stands
out beautifully against the lace rib
background. Martin’s drop-shoulder
design comes with an optional tie belt.
The garment has a luxuriously cosy feel,
c ou r te s y of Rowa n’s A lp a c a C l a s si c
yarn. This is a cotton chainette tube
f i l l e d w it h s of t a lp a c a f i bre, wh i c h k n it s
up into a light yet warm fabric.
