A lovely vintage 1950s knit set made in Canada by 'Lady Anne Boucle Knits' from a fine, textured yarn which feels like pure wool in an eau de nil green colour. The sweater has elbow length raglan sleeves, small rounded collar, & deep ribbed waistband & cuffs; it fastens at the neck back with a painted metal 'Lightning' zip. The ribbed skirt has 2 gores & an elasticated waistband.
