An unusual vintage circa 1950s or early 1960s shawl collar jumper, hand knitted from from fairly chunky yarns which feel like pure wool in an autumnal mix of ombre variegated spice browns, black & beige. It has a fair isle diamond pattern on the lower body & lower sleeves, with the upper parts in a cellular, quite stretchy fancy rib, ribbed collar, cuffs & waistband.
