Vintage 1960s Hand Knitted Wool Jumper Zip Roll Turtle Neck Ski Sweater UK M
A lovely vintage circa 1960s hand knitted jumper, in dark blue with traditional geometric Nordic style patterns on the yoke in light blue, dark blue & cream. It has raglan sleeves which are rather slim, a parallel, boxy body with a fine-gauge brass zip fastener at the neck, & a ribbed roll collar which is stitched down at the front edges. The yarns are medium weight & feel like pure wool.
